Escalate global antiwar action in next weeks

Following the unprecedented success of the global anti war day on
February 15 we announce a massive escalation of action in the next
weeks to try to prevent war. We believe a war on Iraq is wrong
whether it has the backing of the United Nations or not.

There will be direct action at military installations and to stop
military transport, mass pressure on parliamentary and United
Nations representatives, student strikes and occupations, workplace
industrial action, the establishment of peoples' assemblies and
popular consultations against war.

Every day now is crucial in the campaign to stop war.

In many countries there will be mass demonstrations on International
Womens' Day March 8.

In many countries there will be demonstrations, protests and mass
civil disobedience on March 15 in solidarity with the 'Converge on
the White House' demonstration in Washington.

March 21st will be wherever possible a day of workplace solidarity
against war. This will involve workplace assemblies and various
forms of industrial action. In some countries national strike action
against war is being already being planned on this day.
We call on trade unions everywhere to support and promote action
against war on March 21st.

We put the warmongers on notice that if they ignore world opinion
and launch a new attack on Iraq there will be a tidal wave of
resistance.

On the day of an attack we call for mass protests in the centre of
every town and city in the world.

The following Saturday we call for mass demonstrations in every
capital city.

We stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Iraq in urging
everyone, everywhere to play their part in trying to stop this
insane war.
