U.S. out of Afghanistan Now!

On October 7 begins the ninth year of U.S.-sponsored war and ruin for the Afghan people. The Obama/NATO escalation has only escalated this great crime, while generals and government officials talk of sending still more troops, and of being in Afghanistan for many years, if not decades.

We say no! With tens of thousands of innocent Afghans already dead, no more! With nearly 1300 U.S.-NATO soldiers already dead, no more! Step up work to build the anti-war movement!

Protesters are resisting the US Military surge in Afghanistan by blocking Stryker Vehicles bound for the Port of Tacoma for shipment overseas.

May 3, 2009 Tacoma, WA – Activists staged a series of successful direct actions in several locations on the night of May 2, blocking striker vehicles bound for the Port of Tacoma from Fort Lewis. Blockades halted strikers at several points along Interstate 5, and 11 activists were arrested. Demonstrators have pledged to continue resisting the use of the port for war shipments.

March 19, 2009 will mark the sixth year of war in Iraq. The US government has ignored public opinion and its democratic obligation to listen to the voice of its people. The US government has refused to pull its military troops and contractors out of Iraq after it was revealed that Iraq as a sovereign nation was not a threat to the US - it had no weapons of mass destruction and was not significantly connected to members of Al Qaeda or 9/11. Constant petitioning to end the war has been denied and the media refuses to to give the war adequate coverage.

October 11th: March & Rally to Get U.S. Out of Iraq and Afghanistan Now!"

DATE: Saturday, October 11
TIME: 12:00 noon

Begins at Pratt Park (20th & Yesler).
March past recruiting stations at 23rd and Jackson on
the way to Cal Anderson Park (11th & Pine).

Help Make October 11 a National Day of Antiwar Action!

Last night, the 31st of July, the windows of a recruitment station at the Tacoma Mall were smashed. This was done in solidarity with the Northwest's current resistance to port militarization.

For the forces of order who attempt to strike fear into the hearts of our comrades down at the port--we have a message for you:

Get out of Cascadia, or face imminent retaliation.

We will strike again.
