M20 : Time to prepare for March 20 demo
AmigaPhil - 15.02.2004 22:41

Time to prepare for the next massive demonstration:
March 20, 2004 - The World STILL Says No to War !


March 20 2004 - The World STILL Says No to War
March 20 2004 - The World STILL Says No to War


20 March 2004 - Global Day of Action - SAVE THE DATE !
The world will once again claim its opposition to war



If you think that it's too late, the war is over, all is
done and we can't do anything about that, please consider
this:
The USA planned wars against Afghanistan and Iraq has taken,
so far, the life of at least 11,000 civilians. That is
about 4 times as much as the victims of the September 11th
war attacks which were immediately condemned by the
international community. The number of victims we caused is
still growing up, as people (mostly children) continue to
die due to the weapons of mass destruction
we use, like cluster bombs and napalm-like bombs (MK 77),
depleted uranium munitions, ...
Saddam Hussein is undoubtely a criminal who has to reply of
his acts in front of an International Criminal Court. That
does not give us any legitimacy to crush a country and grab
its resources. Today, many regions in Iraq are still
deprivated of water and electricity. Iraqis have to queue
to get some fuel while we have restored and secured the
pipelines which allow us to export "our" oil.
Now think a moment: CAN WE DO ELSEWHERE SUCH THINGS WE
WOULD NOT TOLERATE IN OUR OWN COUNTRY ?

March 20, 2004 is also a unique opportunity to remind our
governments that democracy is not just about allowing
people to vote once in every few years. Actually, we are
getting far away from the model Abraham Lincoln promised:
"A governement of the people, by the people, for the people"
Citizens are concerned by the politic questions even outside
the elections time. A responsible governement should not
try to keep us away from the administration of our country.
A respectful governement has more consideration for its
citizens than just regarding them as "money makers".
We, the people, can't accept being told Fairy Tales and lies
by those we have elected to represent our interests.
We can't stand by a government which use noble value such
as "freedom", "democracy", "justice" to cover his wrong
doing. We can't support a governement as a model for the
world if it bypass/violate Constitutions, national and
international laws, Treaties and Conventions.
We want "PEOPLE" to be placed back to a position it should
never leave: OVER "PROFIT" !

For all those reasons, we will protest together one more
time. ANOTHER WORLD IS POSSIBLE, WE ARE WORKING ON IT !



Here is what you can do right now to make the M20 event
a success and mark this date in History:

Distribute flyers and posters announcing the March 20
global day of action.

Check from the organizations listed on this web page for
some ready to use outreach material:
March 20, 2004 - The World STILL Says No to War

If you can't find any information about anti-war actions
in your area/country, try to contact the organizations
that let you knew about the previous demonstrations
(like the 15th February 2003 massive demonstration), and
ask them if they support the 20th March 2004 International
day of protest against the war.


Spread the word about this event, forward this announce,
write your own message or translate this one into your
native language, and send it to friends and relatives.


Prepare your banners, placards, posters, slogans, ...
Here are some suggestions:

WANTED FOR TERRORISM (Bin Laden - Bush)
WARNING: THESE MEN ARE TERRORISTS (Bush - Hussein - Bin Laden)
HOW COULD WE CONDEMN THIS... (911 - Iraq)
Micah Wright's PROPAGANDA REMIX PROJECT


You will find many more on the World Wide Web.
Again, check from the organizations listed on this page:
March 20, 2004 - The World STILL Says No to War


Organize and try to find a funny, festive way to protest.
Be original, be creative, just don't be quiet. Make sure
you will be seen and heard.



EVERY VOICE COUNT ! BE THERE TOO !



2001: After the September 11th war attacks against the USA,
we pledged to work together to stop terrorism.

2004: We are saying we are
STILL UNITED AGAINST TERRORISM, defending peace, justice, and true democracy.


WE, THE PEOPLE, want JUSTICE and DEMOCRACY !



[Please distribute this message widely]
