The DC Anti-War Network (DAWN) was a grassroots non- hierarchical anti-war organization formed after the September 11, 2001 attacks which ceased meeting in the fall of 2007. The group's points of unity included: opposition to using 9/11 victims to perpetuate the War on Terrorism, to all forms of national, racial, economic or religious violence and bigotry, and torture, as well as demands for an end to war and occupation as a foreign policy and repeal of the Patriot Act. It sought global peace through economic and social means, and a world of ethnic, racial, and religious tolerance. DAWN had no official leaders and its meetings were open to those who agreed with its points of unity.
