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.
