Di nuovo in azione contro la guerra!

25-28 SETTEMBRE 2003:DIMOSTRAZIONI IN QUARANTA PAESI DEL MONDO IN SOLIDARIETA’ CON L’INTIFADA

E PER LA FINE DELL’OCCUAZIONE DELL’IRAQ

Riceviamo dai compagni americani il seguente elenco parziale delle manifestazioni organizzate in rete. La prossima scadenza globale sarà per il 25 ottobre con azioni di fronte alle basi. Riprendiamo con forza la mobilitazione contro la guerra”infinita”, per il ritiro delle truppe di occupazione e contro le spese militari che sottraggono risorse enormi a stipendi, salari, pensioni, servizi pubblici. A CASA TUTTE LE TRUPPE NEOCOLONIALI, (QUELLE AMERICANE E ITALIANE IN TESTA), NIENTE SPESA MILITARE, PIÚ REDDITO PER TUTTI! (venetocontroguerra)

GERMANY Lieber John, selbstverständlich sind wir in Heidelberg auch mit dabei. Wir machen am 26. um 18 Uhr eine Kundgebung vor dem US- Headquarter. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Bündnissen der Friedensbewegung, u.a. in Stuttgart, werden wir selbstverständlich auch Israel/Palästina als Schwerpunkt haben. Und, da wir die US-Truppen vor der Tür haben,werden die US-Kriegsverbrechen und die Forderung nach Abzug zentral sein. Auch für den 25. haben wir schon was geplant.
Mit solidarischen Grüßen, Joachim

POLAND
In Warsaw, Poland, there is going to be a national demonstration on Sept. 27 - against the occupation of Iraq and for the withdrawal of Polish troops. Poland is governing one of the occupations zones in Iraq and has sent around 2,500 troops. We are building for a big demonstration to show that people in Poland don't agree with the government's striving to be Bush's best friend and to become a colonial "master." Demonstrators will walk to the President's Palac, the American Embassy and the Premier's office.
