\u201cThe greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.\u201d\u2028\u00a0\u00a0–\u00a0 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. April 4, 1967<\/p>\n

As you know, after the October antiwar actions, more than 75 actions, we held a meeting to discuss next steps.\u00a0 It was decided that we should have\u00a0another week of actions and the week around Martin Luther King Day, Jan 14 \u2013 22\u00a0was proposed.\u00a0 So, we are moving forward organizing\u00a0STOP U.S. Wars\u00a0actions again during that week.\u00a0 Many organizations endorsed the October week of actions and are anxious to continue.<\/p>\n

As Martin Luther King, Jr. so correctly reminded us, the U.S. is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world.\u00a0 Since WWII, the US has initiated more than 60 military interventions in foreign countries.\u00a0 The US\/NATO proxy war in Ukraine brings the US in direct confrontation with a major nuclear power as does the U.S.\u00a0provocation against China over Taiwan.<\/p>\n

It is extremely important that we build a strong, unified antiwar movement that can break through the media propaganda and censorship and end the US military aggression around the world.<\/p>\n

Each of our actions are based on building local connections among various solidarity organizations. A variety of actions are encouraged from demonstrations, teach-Ins, banner drops, chalk-ins to street meetings.<\/p>\n

Actions linking ALL the continuing US wars and sanctions is a unifying focus and helps break through the propaganda that saturates each war.<\/p>\n
