CALL
FOR UNITED NATIONAL ACTIONS TO OPPOSE US WAR ON SYRIA |
|
The
Obama Administration seems determined to start a senseless and bloody
war on Syria. This is in
spite
of the will of the American people, most Syrians, world public
opinion, many U.S. military and intelligence officials, and even the
Pope. UN
Secretary General Ban-Ki-Moon warned that any “punitive” action
against Syria would be illegal and that a strike could unleash “more
turmoil and bloodshed”.
We
cannot count on Congress to pull us out of this quagmire of expanding
wars for profit. However,
any delay in launching the cruise missiles is important in organizing
a strong opposition to this and
future wars.
The
war makers must be stopped and only a united and massive effort of
all of us, reaching out to broad sectors of the American public can
do this. Remember, we have the majority on our side.
Until
the vote in Washington, the immediate focus needs to be on Congress.
We’ve
all been involved in protest actions and we need to continue the
pressure and intensify the mobilizations. Our unified demand
should be: Hands Off Syria –
No
War!
UNAC
calls for putting pressure on Congress from now until the vote.
This includes organizing meetings with members of Congress, call-ins,
sit-ins, letters, media outreach, petitions, etc. Call the U.S.
Capitol Switchboard: 1-202-224-3121. Ask for your
representative. Leave a message: VOTE NO TO WAR ON SYRIA!
In
addition, we call for mass, united protest actions everywhere on
Saturday, September 7. These
include demonstrations
in NYC at Times Sq.,
Washington, DC, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, LA, Atlanta and many
other places, as well as a demonstration in LA on Monday, September 9
when Obama addresses the AFL-CIO convention.
We
endorse the call by the Syrian American Forum for a mobilization in
Washington on Monday, September 9, led by Syrian Americans opposed to
military intervention. We strongly encourage participation in
all protest actions in Washington, DC, the seat of power, starting on
Saturday and all next week.
An American strike threatens to explode what is already a regional proxy war into a worldwide catastrophe. The stakes are high and we cannot afford to let any differences among us weaken and divide our forces. If you are planning an action, please click here and fill out this form and we will list all actions on our website (www.UNACpeace.org).
Syrian Americans will held a rally in Washington, D.C. on Monday, September 9. Rally at the White House at 10 am followed by a march to Congress for another rally. Please join them. See the Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/680761451934228/
