US imposed sanctions
impacts a third of humanity in
39 countries. Join a
mobilization against this dire
form of economic warfare.
Imposing starvation and disease
on millions of defenseless
civilians is a violation of
international law and a crime
against humanity. This
intentional economic
destabilization has awakened a
growing movement of opposition.
Within a week over
1,000 organizations and
individuals added their support
to the International Call to
Action. Volunteers translated
the Call to Action into 10
languages.

Groups are discussing
plans for local actions.
Activists are reaching out to
their networks. Each action
encourages others to act.
Many organizations have
been mobilizing against
Sanctions and Economic War on
individual countries. NOW is an
opportunity to combine efforts
to raise consciousness on this
crucial issue.
This broad campaign will include
protests and demonstrations,
lobbying, petition drives and
all forms of educational
efforts.
As an initial step for
this campaign we encourage
mobilizations and educational
efforts during the March
13-15 International Days of
Action against US imposed
Sanctions and Economic
War. Send details of action in
your area to: info at SanctionsKill.org
Sanctions and economic
blockades against Venezuela,
Cuba, Iran, Russia and China are
well known. But the devastating
impacts of U.S. sanctions on
occupied Palestine — or on
already impoverished countries
such as Mali, Zimbabwe, Central
African Republic, Fiji,
Nicaragua and Laos — are not
even on the radar screen of
human rights groups.
Most U.S. imposed
sanctions are intentionally
hidden; they don’t generate even
a line of news.
Countries around the
world have had all their assets
and bank accounts seized by Wall
Street banks.. Suddenly even
imports of food, essential
medicines and basic spare parts
are blocked. Calculated U.S.
government efforts undermine
development of social programs
in order to impose economic
restructuring that benefits U.S.
corporate power.
