INTERNATIONAL ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT ANNOUNCES MARCH 15 ACTIONS

More than 120 representatives from the anti-war movement  in 28 countries convened in London this weekend to 
strategize and coordinate international efforts to stop 
the war on Iraq. The U.S. was represented by a delegation  from the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition.

The London Meeting issued a statement of international 
coordination calling for "a massive escalation of action 
in the next weeks to try to prevent war," and announcing  demonstrations, protests and mass actions on March 15 in  solidarity with the Emergency Convergence on the White  House.

The worldwide anti-war movement is working together in an  unparalleled effort of coordination and solidarity as 
people around the world fight for peace and justice, not  just each for themselves, but for each other.

Today's Washington Post features an article on the London  Meeting that also discusses the growth of the global peace  movement and the important Cairo Conference of last 
December, at which A.N.S.W.E.R. Steering Committee member  Elias Rashmawi was elected Vice President of the 
International Campaign Against U.S. War on Iraq.  As in 
America, where the peace movement for the first time is  representing the breath and diversity of all of the people  of the U.S. from different backgrounds and struggles 
working together, the international movement is 
recognizing and supporting the struggles for justice of 
populations throughout the world whose voices must be  heard for a truly representative and effective peace and  justice movement to emerge.  (The full text of the 
Washington Post article is available at
