Dozens of organizations, including The ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Coalition, CODEPINK, Muslim Peace Fellowship, Veterans for Peace, United AntiWar Coalition (UNAC), United for Peace & Justice (UFPJ), Feminist Foreign Policy, World Beyond War, Popular Resistance and Voices for Creative Nonviolence are calling on people from around the United States to organize local demonstrations on Saturday, January 4 to demand: NO WAR / NO SANCTIONS ON IRAN! NO MORE U.S. TROOPS TO IRAQ OR THE MIDDLE EAST! U.S. OUT OF IRAQ NOW!
The Trump administration and Pentagon have moved to start a war with Iran by assassinating Qassem Soleimani, the top military leader of that country. If Iran openly assassinated a top U.S. general and bragged about it, there is no question that the United States would initiate full-scale war. Trump and the Pentagon have acted illegally, in violation of the Constitution, the War Powers Act and international law.
For all who believe in peace, for all who are opposed to yet another catastrophic war, now is the time to take action. On Saturday, January 4 in cities across the country there will be protests against a new war in the Middle East and calling for the withdrawal of all U.S. troops and bases in the region.
Join us at noon at the Ashland Plaza.
Bring your signs, posters, flags, banners, families and friends.
