Next Wednesday, Oct. 7, marks the 8th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan. In Los Angeles, there will be a major protest at 6pm at the Westwood Federal Building. This is the moment for the anti-war movement to be back in the streets. We can make a difference.
The Obama administration and the Pentagon are now at a crossroads. They are debating whether to send tens of thousands more troops in a major escalation of the war. Thousands of Afghans, Pakistanis and U.S. military personnel will be killed and wounded unless we stop the war.
The plans for a major escalation are taking place at the moment that the majority of people in the United States have turned against the war. The resistance inside of Afghanistan is so widespread that little of the country remains under the control of NATO occupation forces after eight long years. The sentiment against the occupation is region-wide. The bloodshed has spilled into other countries. According to a new survey, 80 percent of Pakistanis now oppose the U.S. military presence in their country; this is a 19 percentage-point increase since a survey done just four months earlier.
Come to the Oct. 7 LA protest. Invite all of your friends, family, co-workers, co-students and everyone you can. Only the people can stop the war! Only the people can make real change!
Please make an urgently needed donation to support the Oct. 7 protest and the anti-war struggle!
