MARCH 5 -

National Moratorium
to Stop the War on Iraq

The Next Phase of Conscience and Resistance To Stop the War before it Starts

No School, No Work, No Business as Usual

Whoever you are. Chiunque tu sia.

Wherever you are. Dovunque tu sia.

 What’s that line you haven’t crossed yet to show your determination to stop this war?

Qual è la linea che non hai ancora attraversato per mostrare la tua determinazione a fermare questa guerra?

The line may be different for everyone. But whatever it is, prepare to cross it on March 5, in large and small acts of courage, singly and together La linea può essere diversa per ognuno. Ma qualunque cosa sia, preparati a incrociarla il 5 Marzo, con grandi e piccoli atti di coraggio, individualmente e insieme ad altri. To stop the war on Iraq! Per fermare la guerra contro l'Iraq.

“One day in March the Air Force and Navy will launch between 300 and 400 cruise missiles at targets in Iraq…more than the number that were launched during the entire 40 days of the first Gulf War…‘so that you have this simultaneous effect, rather like the nuclear weapons at Hiroshima, not taking days or weeks but in minutes.’” (CBS News, January 27, 2003)

If you had known about Hiroshima in advance, what would you have done to stop it? Se tu avessi saputo in anticipo di Hiroshima, che cosa avresti fatto per fermarlo?

Today’s war-makers are telling us what they plan to do, including the possible use of nuclear weapons. This war will visit unspeakable terror and suffering on the people of Iraq, in the name of “liberating” them. It will put people all over the planet at risk, in the name of protecting them. It will, no doubt, be accompanied by even more severe repression within the U.S. against immigrants and against resisters. And it will mark another terrible step – the most horrific one yet – into a future of endless war and severe repression.

 Despite huge outpourings of protest around the world, including here in the U.S., the war-makers refuse to listen. We must build on everything that’s been done to date and intensify our work to stop them.

We must act on our conscience and resist as if the future depends on it – because it does. We must inspire, organize and expand political resistance throughout society – where we live and where we work, where we go to school and where we raise our children, where we play and where we pray. Students have called for March 5 as a day to walk out of class. We are calling on all groups and all people to expand the day to one of society-wide resistance – a day to act together to manifest opposition to this shameful, unjust and racist war and our determination to stop it.

On March 5…

• You could call in sick (sick of war, sick of militarism…) ... [continua]

The possibilities are endless, collective and individual.

Le possibilità sono infinite, collettive e individuali.

Lay something important in your life on the line, Along with hundreds of thousands of others

Lascia qualcosa di importante nella tua vita sulla linea Insieme a centinaia di migliaia di altri

On the same day.

Nello stesso giorno

TO STOP THIS WAR ON IRAQ.
