End the Occupation * Investigate the Lies * Bring the Troops Home NOW *

August 6–10 United for Peace and Justice Days of Action

TAKE ACTION ON AUGUST 6-10, 2003, 100 DAYS AFTER BUSH DECLARED THE WAR
ON IRAQ OFFICIALLY OVER

FOLLOW UP: AUGUST 27 GRASSROOTS CONGRESSIONAL ACTION DAY

On May 1, 2003 President Bush, in a televised speech from an aircraft
carrier, announced the end of major combat operations in Iraq. More
than two months later, Iraqi civilians and U.S. G.I.’s are being
killed every single day as our military tries to force an unpopular
occupation on the Iraqi people -– most likely, 6,000 to 8,000 Iraqi
civilians have been killed, as well as over 230 American soldiers.

"Polymedia Lab at World Summit on the
Information Society

December 8-13, 2003, Geneva, Switzerland

Information increasingly represents the ground on which authority is based
and on which struggles are being fought out. Intellectual Property is
becoming a major means of control, and the media-led battles for the
thoughts and the consent of people are playing a central role in global
politics -- once again proven by the tales on weapons of mass destruction
before the Iraq war.

As an intervention into the reorganisation of power, communication and
information, we propose a media lab during the World Summit on the
Information Society (WSIS).

CodePink Women’s Activist Training Camp

San Francisco Bay Area, August 15–17, 2003

Join women of all ages and backgrounds for a weekend of activist training sessions and outdoor fun brought to you by CodePink: Women for Peace.

CodePink began as a movement to stop the war on Iraq, and in a short time has become a vibrant presence in the peace and social justice community. It continues to organize actions in creative -- and sometimes outrageous ways -- addressing a multitude of issues from the missing weapons of mass destruction to the corporate takeover of our airwaves, all the while bringing into play the sensibilities of respect, compassion and interconnectedness.

Come to Miami in November and this is what you'll see......

In November 2003, Miami, Florida is hosting both the 8th round of the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) trade negotiations and the eight Americas Business Forum. Trade Ministers from 34 nations in the Western hemisphere, and hundreds of their closest commerce-inclined friends, will descend on this city for a week of business and pleasure: the business of advancing capitalism's parasitic agenda, the pleasure of getting away with it.

At the Summit of Americas held in Miami in December 1994, 34 heads of state agreed to construct the FTAA. Since then, business and government representatives from these Countries have been secretly drafting this plan with the aim of creating the largest free trading block in the world by 2005. This is to be our region's principal contribution to the much-heralded age of globalization - the inevitable era of opulence and prosperity capitalism promised from its inception. Soon history will draw to a close, and everyone will benefit from the forethought and benevolence of their leaders and elite, Right?
