SATURDAY, OCTOBER 26:
Internationally Coordinated Day of Mass Actions

On Saturday, October 26, 2002, the first anniversary
of the signing of the so-called Patriot Act bill,
anti-war and civil rights forces are joining together
to launch a massive international mobilization in
opposition to a new war against the people of Iraq.

The A.N.S.W.E.R. coalition is calling on organizers
from campuses and communities around the U.S. and the
world to hold picket-lines, rallies, vigils, teach-ins
and more in their local areas on this day.  



1) ENDORSE the October 26 Internationally Coordinated
Day of Mass Actions: Email dc@internationalanswer.org
to add your/your organizations name today!

2) ORGANIZE AN ACTION in your city or town: Email
dc@internationalanswer.org with details, and join the
growing list of cities from around the U.S. and
internationally!



During the 1991 Gulf War, 100,000-200,000 Iraqis were
killed as U.S./UN bombers dropped more than 88,500
tons of explosives on Iraq during that 42-day assault.
 In the years since, more than 1.5 million Iraqi
civilians have perished as a consequence of
malnutrition and disease caused by economic sanctions.

People in the United States and everywhere have an
obligation to stop the Bush administration's mad drive
to launch a new, all-out military aggression against
Iraq.  The Bush administration has no right to wage
war against a country that is posing no threat to the
United States.  Disregarding all international law,
Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and company are
planning to send tens of thousands of young GIs to
kill and be killed in a war for Big Oil. 

We call for civilians and soldiers alike to exercise
their political right to speak out against an illegal
war that will benefit only Exxon/Mobil, Texaco, Chase,
Citibank, Raytheon, Lockheed, Boeing and George Bush's
corporate backers who are his real constituents.

While world public opinion is decidedly against Bush's
war drive, it will take a mass peoples' movement--in
the streets, workplaces, communities, campuses and
high schools--to stop the coming war.
