PROTEST FOR PEACE AT YOUR LOCAL GAS
STATION
INTERNATIONAL DAY OF ACTION FEBRUARY
4th
ORGANIZE a
demonstration for peace at your local gas station, on
February 4th. On that day, hundreds of gas stations
across the country and around the world will be targeted
as we send a clear message that access to oil is not
worth war.
Leafleting, vigils, street theater,
and other forms of nonviolent direct action are all
encouraged. Our intent is to communicate through
education and peaceful confrontation that clean energy
alternatives to oil exist, and that they can increase
our security and give us true energy independence.

WHY FOCUS ON
OIL?
No conflict can
ever be understood by looking at just one factor –
factors other than oil (e.g. supposed links to terrorism
and possible weapons of mass destruction) clearly
contribute to the rationale for war – but the dominant
economic interest in the region and Iraq has been, is,
and will continue to be oil.The peace movement’s
rallying cry of “No blood for oil” has resonance and
power because it holds more than a grain of truth when
talking about any proposed military action in Iraq.
How much is the Bush administration’s push for
war with Iraq motivated by its desire to gain control of
Iraq’s oil fields? As one Bush adviser who chose to
remain anonymous put it:
"If you were trying to talk about Iraq and
if you were not encumbered by the fear that your
actions would be linked to ExxonMobil or the oil
industry, you'd be talking about oil
issues”. Or as an oil industry consultant
put it recently when asked if oil was part of the
equation: “Of course it is. No doubt.
