In Defense of the Holy Name Six

The petition

Three days into the sixth year of the occupation of Iraq, six young people challenged the continuation of business as usual at a time of war crimes during Easter Mass at Holy Name Cathedral in Chicago. This unjust occupation is illegal and criminal, and their call to stop it was correct and moral. We stand with those who are being vilified and charged with felonies for dramatically staging a die-in while Cardinal George was delivering the homily. Coming from a variety of religious and non-religious viewpoints, we urge the Archdiocese of Chicago and the State’s Attorney to recognize right from wrong and to drop the charges against the Holy Name Six.
