OCT. 26 Int'l Day of Mass Actions 2002-08-13, 8:33 p.m. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26: Internationally Coordinated Day of Mass Actions On Saturday, October 26, 2002, the first anniversary of the signing of the so-called Patriot Act bill, anti-war and civil rights forces are joining together to launch a massive international mobilization in opposition to a new war against the people of Iraq. The A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition is calling on organizers from campuses and communities around the U.S. and the world to hold picket-lines, rallies, vigils, teach-ins and more in their local areas on this day. *************** 1) ENDORSE the October 26 Internationally Coordinated Day of Mass Actions: Email [email protected] to add your/your organizations name today! 2) ORGANIZE AN ACTION in your city or town: Email [email protected] with details, and join the growing list of cities from around the U.S. and internationally! *************** During the 1991 Gulf War, 100,000-200,000 Iraqis were killed as U.S./UN bombers dropped more than 88,500 tons of explosives on Iraq during that 42-day assault. In the years since, more than 1.5 million Iraqi civilians have perished as a consequence of malnutrition and disease caused by economic sanctions. People in the United States and everywhere have an obligation to stop the Bush administration's mad drive to launch a new, all-out military aggression against Iraq. The Bush administration has no right to wage war against a country that is posing no threat to the United States. Disregarding all international law, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and company are planning to send tens of thousands of young GIs to kill and be killed in a war for Big Oil. We call for civilians and soldiers alike to exercise their political right to speak out against an illegal war that will benefit only Exxon/Mobil, Texaco, Chase, Citibank, Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing and George Bush's corporate backers who are his real constituents. While world public opinion is decidedly against Bush's war drive, it will take a mass peoples' movement--in the streets, workplaces, communities, campuses and high schools--to stop the coming war. *************** HOW TO GET INVOLVED: 1) ENDORSE the October 26 Internationally Coordinated Day of Mass Actions: Email [email protected] to add your/your organizations name today! 2) CALL AN ACTION in your city or town: Email [email protected] with details, and join the growing list of cities from around the U.S. and internationally! 3) If you would like SPEAKERS on the history of the U.S./Iraq conflict at your high school, college, union, or community center, email [email protected] ----------------- *BACKGROUND INFORMATION on U.S. plans for a new war against Iraq: http://www.internationalanswer.org/news/update/071102iraq.html *A CALL TO THE ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT: Stop the war on Iraq before it starts: http://www.internationalanswer.org/news/update/072402call.html *SAVE THE DATE!
