As
Martin Luther King, Jr. so correctly reminded us, the U.S. is the
greatest purveyor of violence in the world. Since WWII, the US
has initiated more than 60 military interventions in foreign
countries. The US/NATO proxy war in Ukraine, brings the US in direct confrontation with a major nuclear power as does the U.S. provocation against China over Taiwan. It
is extremely important that we build a strong, unified antiwar movement
that can break through the media propaganda and censorship and end the
US military aggression around the world.
Each
of our actions are based on building local connections among various
solidarity organizations. A variety of actions are encouraged from
demonstrations, teach-Ins, banner drops and chalk-ins, to street
meetings. Actions
linking ALL the continuing US wars and sanctions will be a unifying
focus and help break through the propaganda that saturates each and
every war.
“We
are now experiencing the coming to the surface of a triple prong
sickness that has been lurking within our body politic from its very
beginning. That is the sickness of racism, excessive materialism and
militarism.” Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'

Stop US/NATO Wars and Sanctions
Today
working people face escalating costs of food and energy, recession,
growing insecurity and attacks on efforts to unionize. The continuing
wars and military provocations have brought us to the brink of nuclear
war. Stop Washington’s war moves toward Russia and China! Stop endless wars: Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Palestine, Yemen.... everywhere! No to NATO! Money for human needs, not war!
Not one more penny for Ukraine!
