MAY 15: INT’L C.O. DAY

For over 20 years May 15 has been celebrated as International
Conscientious Objectors' Day. Each year activities are focused in a
country where war objectors are being harassed or persecuted—and this year
the internation focus is on the United States denial of the right of
soldiers to object. Conscientious Objectors, GI resisters and dissent
within the military deserve our support as they stand up for human rights
and dignity, democratic rights, and international law. Widespread public
support and pressure can help protect these courageous individuals from
feelings of isolation and from repression of them and their rights.
This year coordinated activities are being planned in the U.S. in New York, Washington DC and the SF Bay Area.

PEOPLE POWER CAN END THE WAR

This mobilization is in support of ongoing campaigns to support GI objectors, resist military recruitment and a possible draft, and end the war and occupation in Iraq and global policies of empire. While the government wages war and occupation abroad, it also sponsors a domestic “war at home,” including attacks on immigrant rights, and cuts in education, healthcare and housing. This action is part of a people power strategy to assert our power to end the war ourselves by supporting objectors in the military and cutting off the supply of recruits.
