BROOKLYN BUILDS FOR FEB 15: "FIND CREATIVE WAYS TO RESIST" By Monica Moorehead Brooklyn, N.Y. "Not only do we have the responsibility to continue organizing against the war on Iraq but we must consider creative, effective ways of resisting if the U.S. warmongers persist in attacking our Iraqi sisters and brothers," declared Larry Holmes Jan. 30. Holmes, a spokesperson for the International ANSWER--Act Now to Stop War and End Racism-- coalition, spoke to an overflow crowd at the House of the Lord church here in Brooklyn. The multinational crowd of 300 responded enthusiastically to Holmes' remarks at the anti-war strategy meeting designed to build momentum for the major national anti-war march and rally set for Feb. 15 in New York City. The meeting was hosted by the church's pastor, the Rev. Herbert Daughtry. He is also the president of the MLK Jr. Peace Now Movement. Other speakers included AFSCME District Council 1707 President Brenda Stokely, Dr. Karen Daughtry, Center for Constitutional Rights Executive Director Ron Daniels, City Councilperson Charles Barron from Brooklyn, and International Action Center Co-Director Teresa Gutierrez. After the speeches, an open mike session allowed activists from different boroughs to share organizing ideas. The activists who attended the meeting took handfuls of Feb. 15 leaflets provided by ANSWER to get them out all over the city and help build the worldwide day of solidarity to stop the war against Iraq. - END - (Copyright Workers World Service: Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this document, but changing it is not allowed.
