No New Cold War! Money for Jobs, Not War! SATURDAY, MAY 17 1 PM PARK ST. STATION, BOSTON In response to United National Antiwar Coalition United Call for National Actions May 9 - May 26 , below. COME OUT AND SPEAK OUT! For more information: iacboston(no spam)gmail.com > 617-792-8136 Let's make our collective voices heard. For unity and solidarity against war. Call for Emergency Antiwar Actions – May 9 to May 26 US/NATO war moves in Eastern Europe, the Black Sea, and the Baltic Sea – the borders of Russia – are a danger to the whole world. Positioning destroyers and missiles, scheduling war games, and imposing sanctions (an act of war) risk wider war. We are deeply disturbed by the expansion of the U.S.-commanded NATO military alliance and U.S. recognition and speedy grant of billions in loans to a right-wing coup government in Ukraine, which overthrew the elected government. This illegal government has used fascist violence against all forms of peoples’ resistance in Ukraine. By more than 2 to 1, the population in the U.S. is against another war and opposed to US military moves or aid to the coup government in Ukraine (4-28-14 Pew/USA Today poll). We must make our voices heard. The time to act is now! We need jobs, health care and social services, not another war. We urge nationally coordinated antiwar actions across the U.S. and internationally - protests, vigils, teach-ins, antiwar resolutions and visits to offices of elected officials. From May 9 to May 26 let us act together, in unity, as a powerful voice against the threat of another war.
