April 9th Antiwar Rallies: Call to Action And Request for Endorsement
April 9, 2011
New York & San Francisco
from the United National
Antiwar Committee
WHO ARE THE WARMAKERS?
THEY are the government, corporate, and financial powers that wage
war, ravage the environment and the economy and trample on our democratic rights
and liberties.
WHO ARE THE PEACEMAKERS?
WE are the vast majority of humanity who want peace, a healthy
planet and a society that prioritizes human needs, democracy and civil liberties
for all.
The Warmakers spend trillions of dollars yearly on endless wars in pursuit
of global domination and profit while murdering millions of innocent people,
installing corrupt and hated governments and funding occupations that displace
millions from their homelands – trampling on the right of oppressed people
to self-determination.
THEY send our youth – victims of the economic draft – to fight
over the very fossil fuels whose unrestrained use threatens the future of the
planet while corrupt and virtually unregulated oil giants dump billions of gallons
of death into our rivers and oceans.
THEY wage a fake “war on terrorism” at home – the new McCarthyism
– that promotes racism and Islamophobia aimed at destroying civil liberties
and democratic rights.
THEY grant repeated and untold trillions in bailouts to banks, corporations
and financial institutions while breaking unions, robbing pensions, destroying
jobs, foreclosing homes, de-funding education and vital social services and
are once again threatening Social Security and Medicare.
THEY offer no solutions to the current crises other than more of the same.
THE PEACEMAKERS DEMAND a better world. Only a massive, united, inclusive and
independent movement has the power to bring it into being.
WE DEMAND Bring U.S. Troops, Mercenaries and War Contractors Home Now: Iraq,
Afghanistan and Pakistan! End the sanctions and stop the threats of war against
the people of Iran, North Korea and Yemen. No to war and plunder of the people
of Latin America, the Caribbean, Africa! End U.S. Aid to Israel! End U.S. Support
to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine and the Siege of Gaza!
WE DEMAND trillions for jobs, education, social services, an end to all foreclosures,
quality single-payer healthcare for all, a massive conversion to sustainable
and planet-saving energy systems and public transportation and reparations to
the victims of U.S. terror at home and abroad.
WE DEMAND an end to FBI raids on antiwar, social justice, and international
solidarity activists, an end to the racist persecution and prosecutions that
ravage Muslim communities, an end to police terror in Black, Latino and Native
American communities, full rights and legality for immigrants and an end to
all efforts to repress and punish Wikileaks and its contributors and founders.
WE DEMAND the immediate end to torture, rendition, secret trials, drone bombings
and death squads.
WE ARE DEDICATED TO A WORLD
OF PEACE AND JUSTICE.
All Out April 9, 2011
