Visible action is urgently needed: 

*The USA PATRIOT Act, the Military Commissions Act, and Obama’s FISA Act must be repealed; the U.S. torture state must be completely dismantled, not just closing Guantanamo, and secret rendition ended;             

*Protests on Sunday January 11, the anniversary of Guantanamo, calling for the prosecution of the war criminals and STOP the wars in Iraq & Afghanistan;            

*The first anti-war protest of the Obama administration January 20, 2009, Washington DC, Six Years of Illegitimate War;

*Resist the Recruiters!  Wednesday, March 18 “We Are Not Your Soldiers” Day of resistance to recruiters; 

*Thursday March 19: Local protests including school walk-outs;

*Saturday March 21: United mass protest in Washington, Chicago and the west coast. 

We in World Can’t Wait pledge to work with everyone who wants to build an ANTI-war movement. www.worldcantwait.org 

Real change happens when people take independent action – outside the confines of government and in their own interests. 

If we want to stop the continued horror of the largest imperialist power on earth dropping bombs, sending death squads and torturers anywhere with impunity – in our names -- the only way is face up to reality, tell the truth, and get out to the people with the message that we must immediately stop the crimes of our government, no matter who is leading the empire.
