[Tr.h.] FredsPuls! Møte onsdag 15/10 kl. 18-20 på utestedet Scapa i Brattørgt, 2dre etg.

["Bjørlykke, Kristin"]

Hei alle gamle og nye aktivister fra Antikrigsnettverk og Fredsinitiativ mot krig i Irak!

Det innkalles herved til et aktivistmøte for å forberede en markering mot okkupasjonen av Irak i Trondheim lørdag 25/10. Dette er en internasjonal markeringsdag.

Tid: Onsdag 15/10, kl. 18-20
Sted: Scapa 2dre etg. Brattørgata

Første oktober ble det avholdt et møte i samme forum der vi besluttet å jobbe for å være en del av den internasjonale antikrigsmarkeringen 25/10 som her i Norge går under navnet SEND SOLDATENE HJEM.

Vi inviterer alle interesserte (dere trengs!!) til å komme på møtet 15/10 for å planlegge hvilken form dette skal få i Trondheim.
Håper på stort oppmøte denne gangen, og at dere sprer dette initiativet til andre!


Vel møtt!


Vennlig hilsen
Kristin Bjørlykke

PS: Sender ved en rapport om status i sakens anledning fra USA.

>WORLD ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT JOINS THE RESISTANCE
>By John Catalinotto
>The worldwide movement that first arose last winter as a desperate
>attempt by millions to stop U.S. aggression against Iraq made its first
>post-war appearance on Sept. 26-28. Tens of thousands of people in over
>40 countries came out to demand an end to the occupations of Iraq and
>Palestine.
>Last spring the movement chose the Sept. 27-28 dates to honor the third
>anniversary of the 2000 Intifada, or uprising of Palestinians against
>the Israeli occupation.
>Since June, the growing Iraqi resistance has made the U.S. occupation
>another major focus for the protest. This was especially true in
>countries whose governments sent troops to Iraq, like Spain and Poland,
>or were considering this move, like Turkey, South Korea and Japan.
>British Prime Minister Tony Blair, caught in a web of lies, is in deep
>trouble in Britain, and President George W. Bush is on the defensive.
>In size, the protests could not compare with those last Feb. 15. Yet a
>Madrid organizer's remarks characterized things well: "Despite the
>demobilization of the summer holidays and the censorship of the media,
>10,000 people flooded downtown Madrid. The protest Sept. 27 was larger
>than we expected, and double the size of those we held a year ago."
>The movement, if not at its full height, was on its feet once more--on
>five continents.
>ASIA AND SOUTH ASIA
>Some 3,000 people marched some two miles through downtown Seoul,
>South
>Korea, on Sept. 27. They carried banners reading "U.S., leave Iraq" and
>"Don't make young Koreans murderers." The United States has asked for up
>to 10,000 South Korean troops for Iraq.
>There were also protests in Japan, the Philippines and Thailand.
>In India, where the rightist regime recently reversed a decision to send
>troops to Iraq after the United Nations headquarters in Baghdad was
>blown up, at least one demonstration took place Sept. 26. In Kolkata
>(Calcutta), protesters demonstrated their anger by burning effigies of
>Bush and Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon in front of the U.S.
>Consulate.
>Over 5,000 people, led by 50 children from the dozen Palestinian refugee
>camps in Lebanon, marched through Beirut on Sept. 27. "Palestine and
>Iraq are the conscience of the nation," read one placard. Another vowed:
>"We choose armed struggle in the face of defeat and imperialist Zionist
>terrorism."
>Some 100 people braved state repression in downtown Cairo, Egypt, to
>express the same sentiments. Demonstrations were also expected in
>Algeria, Morocco and Iraq itself.
>Teach-ins were reported from Mexico and Uruguay in Latin America.
>Organizers in Turkey said 10,000 people protested in the capital,
>Ankara, and thousands more in Istanbul, where unions and others said,
>"End the occupation of Iraq," "Freedom for Palestine," and "If you send
>the army to Iraq, send Tayyip [Turkey's president] and his son with
>them."
>In Athens, Greece, some 10,000 demonstrators gathered at Syntagma
>Square
>where they heard a message from Yasser Arafat and the Palestinian
>president of the Labor Center of Jerusalem. The main slogans were "End
>the occupation of Iraq," "Freedom for Palestine" and "No Greek army to
>Iraq."
>In Cyprus, 200 activists from the Greek and Turkish communities joined
>with Palestinians and Iranian refugees to march from Nicosia's main
>square to the U.S. Embassy and from there to the Israeli Embassy.
>PULL BRITISH, POLISH, SPANISH, DANISH TROOPS OUT OF IRAQ
>The biggest demonstration--100,000, according to organizers from the
>Stop the War Coalition--took place in London on Sept. 27. It had strong
>support from the large Muslim community in Britain and from the labor
>unions, whose leadership has in the past two months taken a position of
>open opposition to the Blair government, demanding that he resign.
>The movement in Poland gathered 1,000 people in central Warsaw Sept. 27
>to protest Poland's participation in the U.S.-led occupation of Iraq.
>Many high school and university students and young workers took part.
>They carried giant "playing cards" with pictures of George W. Bush, Tony
>Blair, the Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski and Prime Minister
>Leszek Miller. One slogan was "Miller, Kwasniewski, Bush's two little
>doggies."
>The Spanish state, which also has troops in Iraq, drew protests of a
>reported 25,000 in Barcelona, and thousands more in Seville, Granada,
>Malaga, Tenerife in the Canary Islands and other cities, besides the
>10,000 in Madrid.
>Organizers of the "No to War" national coalition reported over 1,000
>marching in Copenhagen, Denmark, with particular aim at the Danish
>government for ordering troops to participate in the war on Iraq and the
>present occupation. The main slogan was "The government has lied
>Denmark
>into war--pull the troops out!" There were also smaller demonstrations
>in Aalborg, Aarhus and Esbjerg.
>There were demonstrations of 500 in Helsinki, Finland, some 1,000 in
>Vienna, Austria, and protests in Sofia, Bulgaria, and Oslo, Norway. In
>Brussels, Belgium, more than 2,000 people from 50 organizations demanded
>the immediate withdrawal of foreign troops as they condemned the
>occupation of Iraq and Palestine. In Paris, France, 8,000 people took to
>the streets.
>In Italy, some 150 people took over the Padova City Hall for two hours.
>A national protest is planned for Oct. 4 in Rome.
>In Germany, some 1,000 people demonstrated in Berlin and another 100 in
>Bonn. In Heidelberg, site of the U.S. military headquarters, some 150
>activists sang "The Sloop John B" to remind the U.S. soldiers they
>perhaps "wanna go home." They also renamed the U.S. base's "Mark Twain
>Village" the "Gen. Custer Village" as they considered this both a
>reminder of what can happen and more appropriate than naming it after
>the anti-imperialist writer.
>In the United States, many of the protests were initiated by the ANSWER
>coalition. They also demanded an end to the U.S. military intervention
>in Korea, the Philippines, Colombia and anywhere else on the globe. Some
>5,000 people demonstrated on Sept. 28 in Los Angeles, the same number in
>San Francisco, 2,500 in New York, 500 in Boston and 300 in Seattle.
>There were also protests on Sept. 26 and 27 in Chicago, San Diego, and
>other U.S. cities.
>Besides the countries named above, there were protests set in Mexico,
>Thailand, Australia, South Africa, the United Arab Emirates, Iraq and
>Palestine.
>In response to a call by ANSWER for solidarity actions in tandem with
>the national demonstration Oct. 25 in Washington and San Francisco,
>groups have called demonstrations to protest Bush's visits the week
>before in Japan and the Philippines, at an Iraq "Donor's Conference" in
>Madrid on Oct. 23-24, and in Norway and Italy as of last notice.

>NATIONAL MARCHES ON OCT. 25--LABOR RANKS SAY "BRING
>TROOPS HOME"
>By Sharon Black
>Mounting casualties in Iraq and the call-up of an additional 15,000
>reserve troops have increased popular resistance here in the U.S. to the
>war. Combined with Bush's recent demand for $87 billion for this
>military operation, these events have aroused growing support for Oct.
>25 national demonstrations to "End the occupation" and "Bring the troops
>home now."
>Rank and file trade unionists have begun pressing their locals to pass
>resolutions in support of these actions, and are making plans to bring
>their fellow workers to the protests in Washington, D.C., and San
>Francisco.
>Thousands of people came out Sept. 25-28 to protest the Iraq occupation
>and in solidarity with the Palestinian struggle. On Oct. 4 hundreds of
>thousands of immigrant workers, with strong backing from organized
>labor, will be mobilizing in Queens, N.Y., to raise demands for
>immigrant rights.
>Despite the national AFL-CIO's position of silence on the issue of war
>and occupation, rank-and-file union officials and members are
>nevertheless speaking out. Labor is becoming an important component of
>the anti-war movement.
>The union members' sons, daughters and loved ones are dying in this war.
>Programs that affect union members and provide jobs are being slashed
>because of the ever-growing budget spent on war. This has fueled
>opposition.
>Boston's school bus drivers' union, Steel Workers Local 8751, is gearing
>up for the Oct. 25 national march. The union and other area labor groups
>have formed ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) Labor. Local
>8751 has also passed a resolution against the occupation, and is
>organizing buses to bring workers to the march.
>Michigan's Emergency Committee Against War and Injustice has distributed
>a special four-page labor newsletter against the war and is organizing
>buses from that region. Dave Sole, president of UAW Local 2334, has
>endorsed and is helping to spearhead this movement.
>In San Francisco, the AFL-CIO Labor Council has passed a hard-hitting
>resolution supporting the Oct. 25 protest. This reso lution has become a
>model for union locals across the country.
>In New York City the 200,000-member 1199/Service Employees, which
>represents health and human services workers, has voted to support the
>Oct. 25 demonstration. The union is providing free bus transportation to
>members. New York City Labor Against the War, which has been in the
>forefront of all the national protests against the war, is also
>mobilizing.
>The University of Massachusetts/Amherst Graduate Employee Organization,
>UAW Local 2322, passed a resolution supporting the anti-war protest.
>Chicago's Teamsters Local 705, which represents United Parcel Service
>workers, went on record opposing the war and called for the immediate
>withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq.
>Labor from Chicago, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Cleveland and Atlanta is
>also organizing for the march.
