Day of Mass Action
to Stop War on Iran
NO
war
NO sanctions
NO intervention
NO assassinations
In many ways,
the U.S. war on Iran has already begun.
The U.S.
government is shaping public opinion to accept military intervention
in Iran in the name of "national security." Fabricated stories
that claim evidence of Iran pursuing nuclear weapons is being
blasted through mainstream media and repeated by almost every
mainstream politician.
The U.S.
has authorized harsh economic sanctions that could literally destroy
and devastate the lives of millions of Iranian civilians. In addition
to the sanctions, there have been targeted assassinations of Iranian
nuclear scientists and a U.S. surveillance drone was discovered
in violation of Iranian sovereignty and airspace.
Iraq is devastated
from decades of U.S. military intervention and sanctions that
took the lives of hundreds of thousands of children, rounded up
and tortured innocent people. The Iraq war led to 4.5 million
people being driven from their homes.
Afghanistan,
the poorest country in the world is being destroyed by the richest.
U.S. drones dropping bombs on civilians, striking fear and terror
in the hearts of innocent people daily. Thousands of people remain
in indefinite detention perhaps for the rest of their lives in
Guantanamo and Bagram.
Let the whole
world see that we will not let the U.S. rain death, destruction
and devastation onto yet another country and further inflame a
dire situation in the Middle East. One thing we know is that when
people stand up together to resist the crimes of their government
like the courageous protesters of the Arab Spring and Occupy,
something beautiful can emerge.
NO
war NO sanctions NO intervention NO assassinations
