Beyond F15: AntiWar Movement Turns To Direct
Action
Millions filled city streets around the
globe on Feb 15, denouncing Bush's call to war in a day of protest unlike
any the world has ever seen. While some are sorting out
who organized the whole
thing, others are turning to direct action
as a next step. Activists in
San
Francisco,
Chicago,
Washington
DC,
Montreal
and
Italy
are confronting war profiteers in their communities, blocking military
recruitment facilities, walking out of school and cutting the train
routes that transport military materials.
Peacemakers flocking to Baghdad as
human
shields held their first
"war
council" on Feb 17. In the US, a call
has been put out for a
National Student
Strike on March 5. Bay Area activists are
planning a massive day of
resistance should the war start and antiwar
organizers in Great
Britain are increasingly confident that
they can shut their country down if Prime Minister Tony Blair leads his
nation into war.
