On August 26, CLW-VETPAC will host a major event at the Democratic Convention in Denver to honor all the veterans who are running as Democrats for Congress this year.

On July 16th, 2008, nearly 80 Council for a Livable World and Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation supporters, staff, friends and Members of Congress gathered to celebrate the Council’s annual Father Robert F. Drinan National Peace and Human Rights Awards. This year’s honorees were actor Robert Schiff, Sen. Dianne Feinstein and Rep. John Hall.

Three retired military leaders sent a letter to lawmakers urging them to abandon a resolution currently making its way through Congress that might lead to a blockade or the use of force against Iran.

Council for a Livable World today urged Congress and anti-war organizations to focus their attention for the remainder of the year on stopping the Bush administration from signing a long-term agreement between Iraq and the United States.
