Subject: Dec. 3-10 Stop the War Week - A Call to Action

A Call to Action:

The following Call to Action was raised from the stage at 
the Million Worker March on Sunday, and supported by a 
meeting of the Million Worker March Committee on Monday, 
October 18.

We forward this to you in lieu of a full report of this 
historic and important event, which has formed a new level 
of unity between the antiwar movement and the workers' 
struggle.

We encourage activists across the country to begin 
discussing December 3-10. Send us your ideas and feedback 
as soon as possible.

There has been a suggestion that Friday, December 3 might 
be a perfect day for student walkouts--this is something 
that student activists will know best.

In the coming days, this web page will report on the 
specific proposals for action on the various days, Dec. 
3-10, including actions planned by labor activists and 
unions, by students and youth, and by community 
organizers.

Please contact us to endorse, to offer feedback, and to 
share your ideas:

***ENOUGH!
A Call to Action

Dec 3 - Dec 10

“The War Must Stop Now!” Week

Not one more life - or U.S. bullet or bomb - or new war to 
pacify Iraq.

It is with a shared sense of seriousness and urgency that 
we appeal to all antiwar forces, including: those of us 
who are based in the union/workers movement; organizations 
that are fighting for jobs, health care and housing; youth 
and student organizations; veterans; military families; 
military resisters; solidarity movements; and all the 
other progressive movements - to make the week of Friday 
Dec. 3 - Friday Dec. 10 (International Human Rights Day) a 
time for truly mass action across the country to Stop The 
War Now! including job actions, student walkouts, 
boycotts, and business closings.


The U.S. has started a new war to conquer Iraq - It Will 
Not Work - But it will be deadly - UNLESS we say, “No 
More!”

The bombing raids on Falluja and other Iraqi cities have 
been intensifying, and after the U.S. presidential 
elections, the occupation forces are preparing a 
full-scale new war to "pacify" Iraq in preparation for 
phony U.S.-controlled elections in January. This assault 
will not subdue the Iraqi people; they have made it clear 
that they want the U.S., and U.S.-led occupation forces to 
leave immediately.

However, this new desperate and deadly plan to conquer a 
people who refused to be conquered will cause enromous 
death and destruction unless we make it clear that the war 
will no longer be tolerated.

The War & Occupation must end now! And the People can end 
it!

Our challenge, especially for those of us who have marched 
against the war, and those of us who have worked hard to 
organize those marches, to remind ourselves that the 
election is not going to stop the war, and that waiting 
for something beyond our control to stop the war only 
weakens our movement. The majority of the people want the 
war and occupation to end immediately. It is up to us to 
act with a sense of urgency, immediacy, passion, and 
determination. It is time to say “No More!”

Jobs - Unions - Healthcare - Education - Housing - Bring 
the Troops Home Now!
