DEMO ON SATURDAY 22 MARCH

The Stop the War Coalition Steering Committee met Sunday and agreed to call a national demonstration on Saturday 22 against the war. It is jointly called/organised with CND and MAB. Assemble at 12noon at Embankment and Gower Street (full details to be confirmed so check the website). The Steering Committee also agreed to add the slogans of “Not a penny for the war - bring the troops home“ and by a majority vote “Blair must resign“.

WHEN WAR BREAKS OUT

The Steering Comittee also agreed to call upon all anti-war activists to organise a range of events on the day that war breaks out. We should all aim to “stop work to stop the war“. School students intend to repeat their protests. However it was also noted that strike action was not possible everywhere and anti-war activists must also organise other activities at lunchtime or early evening. In any case, the Coalition is calling for all supporters to converge on town and city centres at 6pm for protests. In London, we will meet at 6pm at Parliament Square.

labournet adds: Liverpool will meet 5pm at the Horse, Church St.
