Non abbiamo in Italia strumenti in rete come questo (e vari
altri ne ricevo dagli Usa), di azione diretta simultanea sul governo o sui
parlamentari. Qualche mezzo comincia a formarsi (non sempre funzionano bene), ma
occorrerebbe formarne uno unico, facile, comune ad un gruppo di
associazioni di pace e nonviolenza (MN, Mir, Pax Christi, BCP, obiettori...) per
interventi su un oggetto preciso, breve chiaro, volta per volta, per essere
almeno sentiti e passare sui media. Chi ha la tecnica per costruirlo? Peacelink
può essere questo?

Dear
Friend,
President Obama is expected to announce his next moves in
Afghanistan when he returns from his Asia trip. Will he send more
soldiers into harm's way? Or will he listen to Karl Eikenberry, U.S.
Ambassador to Afghanistan, who on November 12 recommended the
President send no additional troops? Will he listen to California
democrats who voted in San Diego this week to "end the U.S. occupation & air
war in Afghanistan"? Will he listen to the growing
numbers who know there is no military
solution?
Contact Obama now to say No
Escalation-no more wounded soldiers, no more lost
lives, no more money for war. Peace Action West is
donating their toll-free number so that several national
organizations can collaborate in an effort to flood the White House
with phone calls. Call
888-310-8637-you will be
connected to the White House after a brief message. Then
tell us how your call
went.
Email a personal message to the White
House here!
The terrible costs of the U.S. war in Afghanistan have the
public's attention: from the Fort Hood tragedy to Spc. Alexis Hutchinson's decision
to put family first. Tell the President that there is
massive opposition to sending more troops to Afghanistan, and strong
support for bringing the troops home!
Do it now! PINK Pushback works!
In
solidarity, Dana, Emily, Farida, Gael,
Gayle, Janet, Jodie, Marina, Medea, Nancy, Paris, Rae, Suzanne, and
Whitney
P.S. Emergency action! If Obama
does announce a surge, please plan to be in the streets in your
community, whether with a noisy protest, engaging with people on the
issues in a heavily-foot trafficked area, or a silent vigil
denouncing the escalation and mourning those lost and wounded. To
see the call to action from Veterans for Peace, click here. See our Afghanistan Women Say No To War
page for easy-to-use tools + a list of CODEPINK and coalition surge response actions
planned around the country. |

Thanks to all of you who donated on
Veteran's Day to raise funds for Under the Hood Cafe. We raised
nearly $2,000 which will help keep the
coffee pots flowing and the doors to the cafe open for soldiers to
connect with the peace movement and get access to crucial resources.
