2012-02-04 "EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION TO STOP U.S. WAR AGAINST IRAN"
NO WAR! NO SANCTIONS! NO INTERVENTION! NO ASSASSINATIONS!
No War On Iran: National Day of Action Feb 4 [http://www.facebook.com/events/214341975322807]
[StopWarOnIran.org]
A
broad spectrum of U.S.-based anti-imperialist and anti-war
organizations, including the International Action Center, agreed on a
Jan. 17 conference call to hold coordinated protests across the country
on Saturday, Feb. 4.
The demands will be: “No war, no sanctions, no intervention, no assassinations against Iran.”
The
ad-hoc group that took part in the call decided that although there are
only two weeks to organize, it will invite anti-war forces around the
world to join in to make this emergency protest a global day of action.
All
agreed on the need to stop U.S. imperialism and/or Israel from
launching a military attack on Iran. There was also a consensus that the
new sanctions President Barack Obama signed into law on Dec. 31 -- with
the goal of breaking the Iranian central bank -- were themselves an act
of war aimed at the Iranian people. The political activists on the call
raised the danger of a wider war should fighting break out in or around
Iran.
While the organizations involved had varied assessments of
the Iranian government, they all saw any intervention from U.S.
imperialism in the Southwest Asian country as a threat to the entire
region and to peace. Some of the people on the call who are originally
from Iran and who were in touch with family and friends there conveyed
the Iranian people’s anger at the recent assassination of a young
scientist.
There was agreement to make “no assassinations” one of
the demands to show solidarity with the Iranian population as well as to
condemn the U.S. and its allies for criminal activities against Iran
and its people.
As of Jan. 19, the organizations that called the
actions or endorsed later included the United National Anti-War
Coalition (UNAC), the International Action Center (IAC), SI! Solidarity
with Iran, Refugee Apostolic Catholic Church, Workers World Party, World
Can’t Wait, American Iranian Friendship Committee, ANSWER Coalition,
Antiwar.com, Peace of the Action, ComeHomeAmerica.us, St. Pete for
Peace, Women Against Military Madness (WAMM), Defenders for Freedom,
Justice & Equality-Virginia, WESPAC Foundation, Peace Action
Maine, Occupy Myrtle Beach, Minnesota Peace Action Coalition, Twin
Cities Peace Campaign and Bail Out the People Movement (BOPM).
Individual
endorsers include authors David Swanson, “When the World Outlawed War,”
and Phil Wilayto, “In Defense of Iran: Notes from a U.S. Peace
Delegation’s Journey through the Islamic Republic”; and U.N. Human
Rights Award winner Ramsey Clark, a former U.S. attorney general.
