CAN YOU OR YOUR GROUP SERVE AS AN ORGANIZING CENTER FOR ACTIONS AGAINST WAR AND RACISM?
Serving as an organizing center in your area would mean working with other people and groups in your city, school, community, place of worship, union or workplace to bring people actions against war and racism.
Organizing tools are available. We would list you and your local actions on the IAC web site as a local contact and could direct people in your area to you.
Wherever you are, find the organizing center nearest you to get involved with the organizing--and if there isn't one, set one up.
Below is a partial list of organizing centers. Email gery@action-mail.org with your local contact info if you or your group can serve as an organizing center. Information will be listed on the IAC and other web sites, and email notices will be sent out periodically. Put "org. center" in the subject line. We will also post your local actions.

We are gathering to mourn the victims of terrorism and war since 9/11 and to demand an immediate end to the war against Afghanistan. We are asking people to dress in black and the protest will include a silent vigil to mourn the dead and to draw attention to the likely deaths of millions more if this cycle of violence continues.
PORTLAND JOINS INTERNATIONAL PROTEST AGAINST THE WAR: On Saturday, October 27th, at 1:00 p.m. there will be a demonstration in Portland's Pioneer Courthouse Square in solidarity with anti-war actions taking place in more than 50 cities worldwide. "We are gathering to mourn the victims of terrorism and war since September 11th and to demand an immediate end to the military campaign in Afghanistan," said demonstration organizer, Emily Trinkaus. Organizers are asking people to dress in black. The protest will include a silent vigil to mourn the dead, both American and Afghani, and to draw attention to the likely deaths of millions more if this cycle of violence continues.
This demonstration is endorsed by the Portland Peaceful Response Coalition and by Arabs Building Community. For more information, please contact Emily Tinkaus at (503) 493-0664. Already the military campaign has killed hundreds of innocent Afghani men, women and children -- what the Bush administration cynically refers to as "collateral damage." Aid organizations predict that hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of people will die of cold and starvation if the military campaign continues.
Meanwhile, "Operation Enduring Freedom" has incited anti-American hatred worldwide, destabilized already politically volatile countries, and increased the likelihood of further terrorist attacks in the US. Demonstration organizers are demanding that the US and NATO immediately stop this unjust war against Afghanistan and that the international community initiate a massive relief effort to save the Afghani people. Concurrent anti-war actions are taking place in New York, Washington, D.C., San Francisco, several European cities, and in Japan, New Zealand, South Africa and the Philippines.

Flyer publicizing meeting is titled "Stop the Bombing. No More Atrocities," displays PFP&J's 4 point statement: 1. We condemn the terrorists who committed the atrocities of September 11. We're against violence and all forms of terrorism, including war. 2. We defend the rights of all people living in the United States, including those who appear Middle Eastern, to be free from harassment, racial profiling and racist violence. 3. U.S. policy in the Middle East primarily serves the interests of multinational corporations, especially the U.S.-based international oil companies. We advocate a U.S. foreign policy that's in the interest of both the American and Middle Eastern peoples. 4. At this time of crisis and war, it is crucial that we defend the Constitutional Rights and civil liberties that are fundamental to a democratic society. We invite you to join us in exercising our rights to freedom of speech and assembly as we work for peace and justice in Afghanistan and the Middle East, in the United States, and around the world. adopted October 2001.

*BERLIN
Sat, October 13: It is just reported that activists expect 100,000 participants for rally against war against the poor at Berlin. Centre of Berlin is closed for all vehicles. This rally is organized by the german peace movement. The widespread base organizations woke up after a long term of quietness due to illusions spread by imperialist about the end of the cold war. This is now recognized as big lie. But anger is great because THE GREENS with foreign minister Joschka Fischer these days apply a language of bellizism. Once THE GREENS were the institution of peace movement. After mysterious socalled suicide of Petra Kelly and former general Gert Bastian, symbols of peace movement, THE GREENS have transformed into most vicious warmonger party. Reinhard

DENKOCHTEND "GEEN OORLOG. WAT WEL?" Velen zijn tegen de oorlog tegen Afghanistan en denken dat dat ook geen oplossing is om terrorisme te doen verdwijnen. Maar wat moet er dan wel gebeuren? Deze vraag wil de projektgroep "Konliktoplossing, geen oorlog" aan iedereen voorleggen. Daarbij zullen we zelf ook een voorstel doen. Volgens ons is het erg belangrijk dat er over deze vraag wordt nagedacht. Zolang mensen geen andere manier zien om terrorrisme te bestrijden, zullen ze ook niet gauw nee zeggen tegen de oorlog. (Dat is niet de enige reden om er over na te denken, natuurlijk.) De ideeën die in de denkochtend naar voren komen zullen worden vastgelegd in een verslag, welke vervolgens zal worden verspreid. Het programma van de denkochtend ziet er als volgt uit: - Inleiding en konkreet voorstel door Metha de Vries van Zin!, - projektgroep "Konfliktoplossing, geen oorlog" - Brainstorm in kleine groepen - Pauze - Inventarisatie van de ideeën uit de groepen Komt allen meedenken! Er is met name gemobiliseerd voor deze ochtend in de stad Utrecht. Maar iedereen is natuurlijk erg welkom. Vanzelfsprekend hoef je geen deskundoloog te zijn om te komen meedenken. Tot de 27e! namens projektgroep "Konfliktoplossing, geen oorlog" van Zin! (Zin! is een nieuwe, kleine organisatie met als algemeen doel het bevorderen van de vrijheid van iedereen, waar ook ter wereld.)

The Coalition will lead a colorful Peace Walk-Mardi Gras "to drive home the point that while Filipinos are one with the world in condemning the terror attacks on the US, they do not believe that a retaliatory war against Afghanistan or any country suspected of harboring terrorists will solve the problem." Set to join the Peace Walk are hundreds of Muslims, Christians, students, artists and musicians, expatriates, workers, farmers, women, professionals, anti-nuclear and human rights advocates, environmentalists, and concerned individuals who will bring hand-made placards, posters, pins, shirts, drums and other symbols of peace. "The Peace Walk is a reaffirmation of our solidarity with the growing worldwide protests against the unjust U.S.-led war. It will show our deep concern on the horrific effects of the war and the Philippine government's blind support for it," said the Coalition.

Oct. 27 WHEN: 15:30 h WHERE: Location Rua Martins Alho, 111, 2º Segunda Reunião sobre a questão da luta contra a guerra no Porto. Não à guerra! Nem terror imperialista, nem terror fundamentalista! Paz e liberdade! As associações e colectivos AIT-SP
Porto, Assembleia Libertária do Porto-ALP, Azine, Ilhéus, Semente Vegana e Terra Viva vêm convidar-vos a participar num encontro de debate (e fomentador de acção, caso tal seja considerado) a ter lugar no próximo sábado, dia 27, pelas 15h30, na sede do Terra Viva, Rua Martins Alho, 111, 2º Porto.
Foram convidadas as seguintes: instituições/associações/publicações/colectivos: APRIL, Atlas, Base/FUT, Caldeira, Campo Aberto, "Duas Letras", Fraternizar, Gesto, Igreja Lusitana, JOC-Porto, Jornal Universitário do Porto, Livraria Utopia, LPPS, Naturocoop, Oikos, Olho Vivo, Oriente no Porto, Pontos nos ii, Quercus, TrashBaile, União Romani.
Trata-se de tentar realizar no Porto, uma segunda reunião sobre a questão da luta contra a guerra, depois da que, convocada pelos Ilhéus, teve lugar no dia 30 de Setembro e na qual participaram cerca de 20 pessoas, entre activistas da associação e outros e moradores da zona do Bonjardim. Por motivos técnicos que não consegui descobrir, esta notícia foi enviada por e-mail para ser divulgada no Azine, mas perdeu-se. De qualquer modo, essa reunião tinha tido o mérito de juntar pessoas de várias origens e ensamento, numa discussão produtiva que acabou por esclarecer o horror da guerra e os interesses que a explicam, mostrando-se as pessoas presentes disponiveis para a participação em acções de luto e protesto que se viessem a organizar.
Optou-se desta vez, na reunião convocada para o Terra Viva, por uma convocatória aberta, guardando-se a perspectiva libertária para o debate com as outras associações.
