WAR AND RACISM ARE NOT THE ANSWER -- WHAT WORKERS CAN DO / LET'S BE
VIGILANT FOR LABOR'S RIGHTS: DOWNLOAD PDF FLYERS We join with people
all over the world in condemning the horrific killings of thousands
of persons in the September 11th attacks on the World Trade Center
and the Pentagon. Our most heartfelt sympathies and condolences are
with those whose loved ones were lost or injured on September
11, 2001. At this moment, we would all like to take time to reflect,
to grieve, to extend sympathy and condolences to all. But we believe
that we must do more. We must act now.
We have assembled International A.N.S.W.E.R. to call for worldwide
rallies against war and racism. On October 27th, there were local
marches and rallies in the U.S. and around the world. We call on all
people of conscience and progressive organizations to continue to
organize rallies around the world.
Unless we stop President Bush and NATO from carrying out a new, wider
war in the Middle East, the number of innocent victims will grow from
the thousands to the tens of thousands and possibly more. A new,
wider U.S. and NATO war in the Middle East can only lead to an
escalating cycle of violence. War is not the answer.
We must also act against racism. Arab American and Muslim people in
the United States, in Europe and elsewhere, as well as other
communities of color, are facing racist attacks and harassment in
their communities, on their jobs and at mosques. Anti-Arab and anti-
Muslim racism is a poison that should be repudiated.
The U.S. government is attempting to curb civil liberties and to
create a climate in which it is impossible for progressive people to
speak their mind. The Bush administration is attempting to take
advantage of this crisis to militarize U.S. society with a vast
expansion of police powers that is intended to severely restrict
basic democratic rights.
Now is the time for all people of conscience, all people who oppose
racism and war to come together. If you believe in civil liberties
and oppose racism and war, demonstrate on November 14, 2001. We urge
all organizations internationally to join together at this critical
time and take action. Initial Signers:

"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe
simply because it has been handed down for many generations. Do not
believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do
not believe in anything simply because it is written in Holy Scriptures. Do not
believe in anything merely on the authority of Teachers, elders or wise men.
Believe only after careful observation and analysis, when you find that it
agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all.
Then accept it and live up to it."
