No war with Iran!

War never solves anything, it just creates more problems and resentments.  It is also a big driver of climate change.  It creates broken families, a lot of pain, hatred, and destruction, and never accomplishes its goals.

We need more diplomacy in our foreign relations. 

There is a peaceful answer when there is enough will power to take it on.

So at Occupy Elgin on Saturday, January 20th, our message will be No War with Iran.   read more
