D'accordo. Facciamo dunque il 20 marzo 100 manifestazioni in 100 città in
solidarietà con gli "altri Usa, di pace". La manifestazione sia solo la punta
visibile dell'iceberg del lavoro quotidiano di ricerca, educazione,
azione.
Ciao!

Now! Mass Demonstration
CONCORDO con te ma, per una volta
almeno, non facciamola a roma!
non sprechiamo energie
inutilmente (i cortei in questo momento non sono dei mezzi efficaci)
facciamola nel locale così
potremmo dedicare le energie a realizzare vere forme di coinvolgimento e
Mobilit-AzionI possibili e
concretamente incisive da proporre alla gente comune.
credo sia l'unica occasione di
risollevarsi per questo movimento sempre più lento e stanco...
quando nel 2003 uscì la campagna
fuori la guerra dalla spesa la gente la recepiva con molto favore (ed ancora
qualche mese fa tutti prendevano il volantino dal banchetto)
è stato un errore enorme non
investire energie per sostenere quella campagna che era validissima ed aveva
ottime probalità di "sfondare" di ottenere risultati concreti
adesso io non so se si può
riproporre la stessa aggiornando le ricerche su cui si basava o se prepararne
una simile restringendo l'obiettivo a meno aziende compromesse con la guerra
(magari individuando le imprese italiane che ne traggono profitto) di sicuro
credo che da qui a marzo ci sia il tempo per prepararla.
scusami se ti rispondo in
privato, ma non riesco ad inviare posta alle liste di

Bisognerebbe aderire dall'Italia, o fare una manifestazione

Emergency Anti War
Conference
Calls for United March on Central Park to
End the Occupation
"Central Park Belongs to the People--March on Central Park on March 20
to End the Occupation!"
This call for a united effort of
antiwar forces came from organizers and activists at the December 4
Emergency Antiwar Conference in New York City. It was greeted with
thunderous applause and a renewed determination to be in the streets to
fight the illegal occupation of Iraq. (see below for the text of the
call)
The conference, called by the International Action Center,
was supported by a wide variety of progressive organizations including:
New York City Labor Against the War, the Haiti Support Network, the New
York Million Worker March Committee, the Korea Truth Commission, New
Jersey Solidarity - Activists for the Liberation of Palestine, New School
Graduate Program in International Affairs Human Rights Group,
International Concerned Family & Friends of Mumia Abu-Jamal, AMAT -
the Association of Mexican American Workers, FIST - Fight Imperialism -
Stand Together, Queers for Peace and Justice, Democratic Palestine, the No
Draft No Way Campaign, PeopleJudgeBush.org, and more.
Panelists at
the conference raised the need to organize against the draft and military
recruiting, to support resistance inside the military, and to return to
the streets in the continued struggle to stop the occupation. At the
conclusion of the conference, participants broke into planning groups to
begin organizing the next phase of resistance to occupation.
Organizing groups included: Fighting Bush's War Budget, Fighting the
Draft and Military Recruiting, Solidarity with Resistance in the Military,
and Action Plan: Counter-Inaugural and March 20.
OUT
NOW!
MARCH TO CENTRAL PARK ON SUNDAY MARCH 20th,
2005
THE WHOLE WORLD WILL BE MARCHING AND
WATCHING
The world-wide antiwar
movement has called for massive demonstrations against the war on the
weekend on March 19-20 -- the second anniversary of the invasion of
Iraq. We have a responsibility to respond with renewed determination
and commitment in the face of the Bush Administration's launching of a new
phase of the war against the Iraqi people.
A few months ago, Mayor
Bloomberg, the NYPD, and Bush told us that we could not march to and rally
in Central Park. We do not accept this decision and are determined
to challenge it in the courts and by assembling tens of thousands of
people to retake Central Park --our Park. The antiwar movement
cannot afford, and must not allow, this infringement on our rights,
especially in a city as important as NYC.
We call on all
antiwar and progressive activists, organizations, and coalitions to work
towards building a massive march on Sunday March 20th to Central Park
under the slogan OUT NOW!
We propose to set up an OUT NOW
coalition, open to all individuals and organizations willing to work
together to stop the war. The reason why we are proposing that we
call this movement “OUT NOW!” is because these two simple words convey the
absolute zero tolerance for the occupation of Iraq that must drive our
organizing hence forth. We need everyone to know that the mass movement is
re-opening a full-scale campaign to stop the war and end the occupation
and that the movement means business.
We encourage you to endorse
this call.
The International
Action Center
What you
can do to help build March 20:
1) Endorse
2) Organize local
transportation to NYC
3) Help get the word out - download

THE CHALLENGES
FACING THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT
The following points are not submitted
as the basis for unity that all must agree to before working together.
They are points of discussion that merit movement-wide attention at this
crucial juncture.
* WE need to demand the Immediate, complete and
unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. occupation troops from Iraq. The
occupation’s sole purpose is to control the natural resources of Iraq and
render the Iraqi people and its institutions subservient to US corporate
interest by military force. The principal function of the occupation is
the destruction of all who dare to resist it, no matter the cost in Iraqi
lives, in the destruction of Iraq’s infrastructure, and the resulting
devastation of Iraqi society.
* The most important thing to know
about the January 30 “elections” that are being organized under the
US-created Allyawi regime, is that their purpose is to legitimize the
occupation and the objectives of the occupiers. In the days ahead it will
become more important for us to reject and expose any excuses put forward
to justify the continuation of the colonial occupation of Iraq for even
one more day, or the sending of more troops which is already under way.
There is only one issue and that is ending the criminal occupation -
immediately.
* We must support politically, morally and
organizationally members of the U.S. armed services who are resisting the
war, moreover, we must encourage this resistance.
* We must
organize to fight any attempt by the Bush Administration to re-instate the
draft and prepare to support resistance if conscription
returns.
*It is time for the antiwar movement to acknowledge the
absolute and unconditional right of the Iraqi people to resist the
occupation of their country without passing judgment on their methods of
resistance. Even the founding charter of the United Nations clearly
affirms the right of an occupied people to resist by force of
arms.
* Bush’s doctrine of preemptive war, the occupation of Iraq
and Afghanistan and the growing threats against Iran and North Korea make
it incumbent upon us to reject that notion that smaller countries must
disarm and leave themselves defenseless at the demand of Bush and the
Pentagon. Such demands are not only hypocritical, irrational and unjust;
they amount to little more than a pretext for more invasions and
occupations.
* We must continue to draw the connections between and
build solidarity all of the people in every part of the world that are
resisting the empire - in Korea, the Philippines, Cuba, Venezuela,
Columbia, Puerto Rico, and Haiti, where the people are actively resisting
the “coupnapping” of President Aristide.
* There must no longer be
any hesitation on the part of our movement regarding our support of the
struggle of the Palestinian people to free themselves from occupation. As
a movement we have made a huge step forward in this regard. There must be
no turning back.
* We must work to facilitate the widest unity
between all of the forces that are seriously organizing against the war
and occupation. The world demands no less of us inside of the US. If there
is a will to forge unity, then those with wide differences in political
positions and even a history of poor working relations will find the basis
to unite in the interest of the struggle to stop the war.
* Now
that the election is over, it is clear more than ever that only a peoples’
mass movement can stop the war. The antiwar movement should never
again sacrifice its independence and demobilize itself on behalf of a
political party that supports the war. The first and most immediate
task of the antiwar movement is to be back in the streets.
* It is
up to us to revitalize the mass struggle against the war and to insure
that it is serious, uncompromising, unrelenting and supportive of a wide
array of tactics from the mass marches to the militant tactics of the
youth, to the tactics that are most effective for the inclusion of
workers, labor unions and people of color.
* One way of
accomplishing greater fusion between the antiwar movement and the working
class and the poor is through linking of the issues that affect the mass
of the people with the struggle against the war in a much more strategic
and substantive way. For example, very soon the Bush administration will
ask congress to approve between $70 and $120 billion more for the war on
top of the more than $200 billion that has already been allocated for it.
Congress will be voting to fund the war and occupation at the same time
that students, workers, single parents, the unemployed and retirees are
being hit with the most sweeping budget cuts in the government programs
that they depend on since the Reagan years. Our challenge: Can we help
galvanize those who will be outraged by the specter of their money being
stolen from critical needs to pay for more death and destruction into a
struggle against the war budget vote? The time frame for this struggle
will the period between the counter-inauguration protest in DC and around
the country on Jan.20 - through the 2nd anniversary of the start of the
war on the March 19/20 weekend.
* We propose to strategize and
reach out to other forces with the goal of implementing this
perspective. The Million Worker March Movement has issued a call for
all of the various antiwar organizations and workers struggles to unite on
the weekend of March 19-20 and we endorse this call for broad
unity.
