‘Say NO To US Wars!’: Back To The Streets, October 15-22

Stop Washington’s war moves toward Russia and China.

Stop endless wars: Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Palestine, everywhere. Join us in protest during the week of Oct 15 – 22. Organize an action in your local area or join one.

Let us know the details of any actions you organize by clicking here.

Click here to endorse the October actions.

Today working people face escalating costs of food and energy, recession, growing insecurity and attacks on efforts to unionize. The continuing wars and military provocations have brought us to the brink of nuclear war.

Yet, during this election period, imperialist foreign policy has been getting little attention.  It is time for us to be back in the streets to demand an end to US wars and provocations.

While the U.S. pours more weapons into the proxy war in Ukraine–holding open the possibility of direct confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia – the war fanatics in Washington seem determined to start even more fires around the world. Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan; hints that the U.S. may be moving towards confrontation with China as well as strikes against Iran; and reports that new U.S./South Korea war games will practice a “decapitation” strike against the north (DPRK), all show the urgent need to speak out.

Stop US/NATO Wars and Sanctions from Cuba and Palestine to Russia and China

We need $billions for Housing, Health Care, Jobs and Climate – NOT for War Profiteering

____________________________________________

Remote Killer Drone Command Still Operating in Horsham from PA Air Guard Station. That Means U.S. Killer Drones are doing still doing what they were designed, imagined, and built to do: KILL! U.S. remote Killer drone operations, like the remote command in Horsham, PA, still does what they were established to do: Make War!

March 2013 the U.S. Air Force announced, along with local, state, and federal officials, plans to establish a drone war command center within the 111th Fighter Wing of the Pennsylvania Air National Guard, at Horsham Air National Guard Station. The Brandywine Peace Community and friends from around Pennsylvania began organizing regular protest demonstrations at the Horsham Air Guard Station to “Stop the Drone War Command Center Before It Starts”
In 2016 the Horsham site became one of the country’s 12 drone war remote command centers that dot the continental U.S., computer targeting people across the world and thousands of miles away

Nearly a decade of protests continued. Then came the Covid-19 Pandemic and the protest in Horsham took place only intermittently.

Protests at other drone war training and command sites around the country will take place between Oct. 15 – 22 in support the Shut Down Creech encampment. https://shutdowncreech.blogspot.com/

Put Peace on the Ballot in November
Can we stop World War III before it destroys us all?

As the world teeters on the brink of a major world war, provoked by the relentless US drive for regime change in Russia, the fate of humanity rests in the hands of a man so addled by dementia that he literally cannot make a complete sentence.

We can change that, using a very simple tool – the write-in vote.

We are preparing simple instructions on how to do a write-in vote in your area, and are calling on people across the US to write-in “No War with Russia!” on their ballots as their choice for Congress.
More information will come shortly.

WHEN YOU VOTE THIS YEAR
WRITE-IN FOR CONGRESS:
“NO WAR WITH RUSSIA”

Here in Sonoma County a few individuals (Veterans For Peace, Greens, Quakers) have come together for a vigil on Saturday, October 15th, 11 am to 1 pm in Old Courthouse Square. This is a preliminary gathering – no sound system – no program – but there will be a table with information and sign-up sheets for those who would like to get involved in very necessary anti-nuke work.

This weekend marks the 60th anniversary of the start of the Cuban Missle Crisis. Humanity is closer to nuclear war than we have been since then.

Many activist groups around the country have come together, under the umbrella of Defuse Nuclear War, to call attention to the increasing and highly volatile threat of nuclear war. Defuse Nuclear War has called for a week of action – see their website at defusenuclearwar.org for details.

It is time to demand that our elected representatives work to de-escalate tensions between nuclear nations. It is time to negotiate. It is time to demand:

End the policy of “First Use”
Rejoin Nuclear Weapons Treaties
Take U.S. Nuclear Weapons Off Hair-Trigger Alert
Get Rid of ICBMs (land-based nuclear missiles)
Support Congressional Action to Avert Nuclear War ((H.R. 1185)
Move the Money to Human Needs, Not War

We welcome any anti-war and peace movement organizations to join us in this event.

Our demands are:

Vancouver area network groups and their friends will again demonstrate for just peace: Mobilization against Wars and Occupation, Fire this Time Social Justice Movement, Just Peace Committee and other affiliates of the International League of Peoples’ Struggles, World Beyond War, Global Peace Alliance-BC Society.

While the U.S. pours more weapons into the proxy war in Ukraine–holding open the possibility of direct confrontation with nuclear-armed Russia, the war fanatics in Washington seem determined to start even more fires around the world. Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan; hints that the U.S. may be moving towards confrontation with China as well as strikes against Iran; and reports that new U.S./south Korea war games will practice a “decapitation” strike against the north (DPRK): all show the urgent need to speak out.
