What are the opportunities and pitfalls of organizing in an election year? Please use this forum to discuss these issues, but let's avoid electoral pitches for particular candidates (evaluating and discussing the positions of candidates and parties is, on the other hand, encouraged).

In the editorial for this issue, PeaceWork co-editor Sam Diener asks, "What are our responsibilities when constitutional liberties are violated?"
In this issue, which focuses largely on the parallels between the US wars in Iraq and Vietnam, one of the questions raised is, "what are the parallels between President Nixon and Bush?" We excerpted Barbara Jordan's 1974 argument for the importance of impeachment to check Presidential power, and Rocky Anderson's argument for the importance of impeaching President Bush. What do you think about impeachment today? How do you feel? What do you believe? If you're engaged in impeachment organizing, what has been your experience and how do you believe it could become more effective?

As PeaceWork co-editor wrote in her editorial, "Welcome to the newly redesigned Peacework! We're still cheerfully bringing you news of creative, courageous organizing initiatives for non-violent social justice from around the US and the world. We're still amplifying the voices of the survivors, leaders, and teachers among us who have testimonies to share and strategies to offer for making our world a saner, safer place. We're still drawing on a profound commitment to exploring nonviolent solutions, based in the Quaker belief in the divine light in every person and in other traditions of pacifism as well. And we're still bringing you tools and perspectives you can use in your own activism. But now, both in print and online, look for brighter colors, new features, and a cleaner layout. Let us know how you like it!" How do you feel about the newly redesigned magazine? We'd appreciate your feedback.
