[Forwarded] Help Launch World Wide Peace Demonstration, Oct 6 Dear Peacemakers-- We are hoping that you can forward and publicize the email below, calling for peace demonstrations around the world on October 6, to protest US foreign policy. It has been endorsed by Helen Caldicott and seven national peace organizations in the US, and it is critical that the information that this world wide demonstration is happening is spread out through the world quickly. Our concern is to save lives in Iraq, and in other countries that our government may choose to attack,and to reverse the erosion of international institutions: the UN, the Geneva Conventions, arms control treaties, and other treaties that the US has not ratified, including Kyoto and ICC. Perhaps yourgroup can organize a protest? Working for Peace, Organizers, World Wide Peace Demonstration ----- ---------- send on please! ------------------------- Unprecedented times call for unprecedented measures. Help launch the first World Wide Peace Demonstration! Please send this email on to any international peace group, or anyone outside of the US that might like to participate and encourage them to send it on, widely and quickly. Translations: http://www.mamoveon.com/worldwidedemo/ Dear Friends! We urge you to join us in a World Wide Peace Demonstration, on October 6, the day before the first anniversary of the start of US bombing of Afghanistan. George Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld want to drag our nation into a disastrous military venture against a country that has not attacked us. They want to wage a war that could lead to the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent Iraqis and many US troops, a war that makes a mockery of international law. We hope that many thousands of people dedicated to a better future will gather to protest in front of the US Embassy or Consulate in each country of the world, at 12:00 Noon, local time, on October 6 to let the US government know what they think of this plan. The demonstration will then move around the world with each new hour. Imagine the impact of this day, as people in country after country around the globe stand up and tell the US government: --No War With Iraq; No Aggression Towards Any Country! --No War for Oil --USA: Respect the Geneva Conventions and the UN Charter! --USA! Join the Family of Nations, Join and Respect the Treaties: Kyoto, Land Mine Ban, ICC, and More --End Militarism and Neo-Colonialism --Abolish Nuclear Weapons World Wide --Work for a More Democratic UN We offer these possible slogans, but any message you want to send to the US government would be welcome. In the US we will be demonstrating on the 6th in Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and in New York City, taking this pledge (see http://www.notinourname.net) --------------------------------------------------------- We believe that as people living in the United States it is our responsibility to resist the injustices done by our government, in our names Not in our name will you wage endless war there can be no more deaths no more transfusions of blood for oil Not in our name will you invade countries bomb civilians, kill more children letting history take its course over the graves of the nameless Not in our name will you erode the very freedoms you have claimed to fight for Not by our hands will we supply weapons and funding for the annihilation of families on foreign soil Not by our mouths will we let fear silence us Not by our hearts will we allow whole peoples or countries to be deemed evil Not by our will and Not in our name We pledge resistance We pledge alliance with those who have come under attack for voicing opposition to the war or for their religion or ethnicity We pledge to make common cause with the people of the world to bring about justice freedom and peace Another world is possible and we pledge to make it real ---------------------------------------------------------- If we stand up now we may prevent more death and destruction in Iraq. We will put US policy makers on notice that their attempts to dominate the world economically and militarily are unacceptable World Wide; That the US should be a good neighbor, one nation equal amongst others, as we work together to solve the many problems facing us as world citizens: the degrading environment, world hunger, education for all children, and the need to end nuclear terror. Let's work together to build a peaceful world where we all can flourish, a world where international treaties are used and respected, where might doesn't make right, and where the guarantees of the UN Charter are a reality.
