STOP U.S. Wars: MLK Week of Actions - Jan 13 – 22 - Next
Step
“The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own
Government, I can not be Silent.”
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. April 4, 1967
As you know, after the more than 75
actions in October, we held a meeting to discuss next steps. It was decided that we
should have another week of actions and the week around Martin Luther
King Day, Jan 14 - 22 was proposed. So, we are moving forward
organizing STOP U.S. Wars actions again during that
week. Many organizations endorsed the October week of actions and are
anxious to continue.

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, chalk-ins to street meetings.
Actions linking ALL the continuing US wars and sanctions is a
unifying focus and helps break through the propaganda that saturates each
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.
