There is growing momentum for solidarity in the anti-war movement in the United States and around the world. There have been two important calls for coordinated global mass action: one on January 18 that is anchored in the U.S. anti-war movement and another on February 15 that is anchored in the European movement. Below is a statement from Elias Rashmawi, a leading figure in the recently held world anti-war conference in Cairo, Egypt and a member of the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition Steering Committee.

The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, at a press conference on Wednesday, January 8 in Washington DC, announced an Action Plan to follow up the January 18 National Mobilizations in Washington DC and San Francisco. As resistance builds in the United States, it is manifesting itself through a combination of grassroots anti-war actions of all types and of national mass mobilizations.

Just as January 18 is the International Day of action anchored in the United States with coinciding actions in 32 countries, on February 15th the European movement has called for people throughout the U.S. to answer their call for mass actions that day. The ANSWER coalition supports the call for February 15 demonstrations. We can stop the war by turning up the heat with local, regional, national and global action.

To that end, the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition calls for a Week of Anti-War Resistance promoting a whole variety of activities between February 13 and February 21.

WEEK OF ANTI-WAR RESISTANCE FEBRUARY 13-21

FEBRUARY 13: Teach-ins, forums, and youth and student action on the 12th anniversary of the deliberate destruction of the Amariyah Bomb Shelter. On this day in 1991, the U.S. unleashed an unprecedented massive assault, a pinpoint attack by two precision missiles launched from a stealth bomber against an air raid shelter. Hundreds and hundreds of young people, mainly children, and some of their mothers, were incinerated in this calculated effort to terrorize the Iraqi people in the Gulf War.

FEBRUARY 14: New York City Teach-in from 9 am to 4 pm on Building an anti-war movement that connects the struggle against war on Iraq with the fight for social and economic justice and civil rights at home, followed by an Indoor Rally from 7 to 10 pm on Linking the struggle against corporate globalization, war, militarism and racism.
Community Church: 35th St between Park and Madison

FEBRUARY 15: The European movement, which initiated the call for this international day of actions, has sent requests to U.S. peace groups, including A.N.S.W.E.R., to call for actions in the United States. United for Peace has initiated a mass mobilization in New York City, which we support. There will also be mass actions in Chicago on February 15, in San Francisco on February 16, in Los Angeles, and in hundreds of other cities that weekend. We encourage and support regional and local actions in solidarity with actions February 15 in Europe and around the world.

NYC: gather at noon on 1st Avenue Starting on 49th St and Going North

FEBRUARY 16: Mass Mobilization in San Francisco: Meet in SF at Market & Embarcadero at 11 am.  March at 1 pm to Civic Center for a 2 pm rally.

FEBRUARY 21: Take to the streets to fight war and racism on the anniversary of the assassination of Malcolm X. Coordinated Day of Resistance, including student anti-war walk-outs from hundreds of high schools and colleges, and other acts of non-compliance. Youth and students have marked this important anniversary with militant protests on a range of issues for the last thirty-five years. Malcolm X embodies the spirit of struggle against militarism and the racist establishment. Honor his life and legacy the right way: Resist! Youth and Student A.N.S.W.E.R. will be providing leaflets, posters, stickers and other resources for the February 21 actions.
