    As Live Aid and Live 8 raised desperately needed awareness for hunger and poverty, Operation Ceasefire intends to raise money & awareness for the fight against the misguided and immoral war and occupation of Iraq!
    The stage for Operation Ceasefire is the Washington Monument with the White House as a backdrop. This is THE central location for ‘freedom of speech’ events in the capital city, and a natural focal point for the anti-war mobilization taking place the weekend of September 24th -26th, 2005.
    Operation Ceasefire, with the help of Thievery Corporation, plans to produce a live CD and DVD of the concert. Proceeds from this free concert will be directed to co-sponsor United for Peace and Justice and local peace group, the D.C. Anti-War Network (DAWN).
    Please join us as we plan to make Operation Ceasefire’s impact on today’s War in Iraq the equivalent to what Woodstock was for the Vietnam War Era! You can help make this progressive anti-war concert a success and in the process strengthen the peace and justice movement of today in hopes of a far better tomorrow.
    According to recent polls by ABC, CNN and other sources, a majority of Americans are now coming out against this war and occupation. The time to act is now! We invite all to come to Washington – join the struggle for peace and enjoy great live music!.
