BUILDING ANTI-WAR UNITY

There is growing momentum for solidarity in the anti-war
movement in the United States and around the world.

As resistance builds in the United States, it is manifesting itself through a
combination of grassroots anti-war actions of all types
and of national mass mobilizations.

To that end, the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition calls for a Week
of Anti-War Resistance promoting a whole variety of
activities between February 13 and February 21.

WEEK OF ANTI-WAR RESISTANCE
FEBRUARY 13 - 21

FEBRUARY 13: Teach-ins, forums, and youth and student
action on the 12th anniversary of the deliberate
destruction of the Amariyah Bomb Shelter. On this day in
1991, the U.S. unleashed an unprecedented massive assault,
a pinpoint attack by two precision missiles launched from
a stealth bomber against an air raid shelter. Hundreds and
hundreds of young people, mainly children, and some of
their mothers, were incinerated in this calculated effort
to terrorize the Iraqi people in the Gulf War.

FEBRUARY 14: New York City Teach-in from 9 am to 4 pm on
Building an anti-war movement that connects the struggle
against war on Iraq with the fight for social and economic
justice and civil rights at home, followed by an Indoor
Rally from 7 to 10 pm on Linking the struggle against
corporate globalization, war, militarism and racism.

FEBRUARY 15: The European movement, which initiated the
call for this day of actions, has sent requests to U.S.
peace groups, including A.N.S.W.E.R., to call for actions
in the United States. United for Peace has initiated a
mass mobilization in New York City, which we support, and
we also encourage and support regional and local actions
in solidarity with actions that day in Europe and around
the world.

FEBRUARY 16- 20: Local picket lines, rallies, teach-ins,
collection of signatures in the People's Anti-War
Referendum (www.VoteNoWar.org)

FEBRUARY 21: Take to the streets to fight war and racism
on the anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X.
Coordinated Day of Resistance, including student anti-war
walk-outs from hundreds of high schools and colleges, and
other acts of non-compliance. Youth and students have
marked this important anniversary with militant protests
on a range of issues for the last thirty-five years.
Malcolm X embodies the spirit of struggle against
militarism and the racist establishment. Honor his life
and legacy the right way: Resist! Youth and Student
A.N.S.W.E.R. will be providing leaflets, posters, stickers
and other resources for the February 21 actions.
