UNAC: “STOP U.S. Wars in the word…”
“The greatest purveyor of violence in the world : My own Government, I can not be Silent.” (Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. April 4, 1967)
Hello everyone, as you know, after the October antiwar actions, more than 75 actions, we held a meeting to discuss next steps. It was decided that we should have another week of actions and the week around Martin Luther King Day, Jan 14 – 22 was proposed. So, we are moving forward organizing STOP U.S. Wars actions again during that week. Many organizations endorsed the October week of actions and are anxious to continue.
Email: UNACpeace@gmail.com, and we will add you as an endorser of Martin Luther King week of action.
As Martin Luther King, Jr. so correctly reminded us, the U.S. is the greatest purveyor of violence in the world. Since WWII, the US has initiated more than 60 military interventions in foreign countries. The US/NATO proxy war in Ukraine brings the US in direct confrontation with a major nuclear power as does its provocation against China over Taiwan. So, 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.
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.
Actions linking ALL the continuing US wars and sanctions is a unifying focus and helps break through the propaganda that saturates each war.
Please start organizing now. You can send any planned action to UNACpeace@gmail.com and we will set up a form to enter information on your actions in the coming days.
In peace and solidarity,
Joe Lombardo

Stop US/NATO Wars and Sanctions
Today working people face escalating costs of food and energy, recession, growing insecurity and attacks on efforts to unionize. The continuing wars and military provocations have brought us to the brink of nuclear war.
Stop Washington’s war moves toward Russia and China!
