Across the country on January 7 2006, town halls convened across the country to discuss America's occupation of Iraq. One of the largest turnouts occurred in Tacoma, WA as America In Solidarity was proud to host Congressman Adam Smith. Nearly 400 people turned out for the event that featured an hour-and-a-half discussion with the congressman followed by a series of "Action Workshops" and a concert featuring Bob Wickline.

The "Action Workshops" included a panel about labor and the war, a "Citizens Toolkit" (how to write your congressman, a letter to the editor, etc) and counter recruitment in our schools. The event took place at Tacoma’s First United Methodist Church and America In Solidarity wants to thank the church and Bob Collier for hosting us.

Special thanks to the Micah Project of First United Methodist Church and the Tacoma Progressive Roundtable in helping to organize the event and AM 1090 for helping publicize the event.
