DESCRIPTION:BREAK THE SILENCE: NO MORE WAR ON SYRIA AND BEYOND  \nSTOP THE AIR STRIKES 
 AND TARGETED KILLINGS NOW \n\nWith the escalation of deadly air attacks in 
 Syria by US/NATO and allies – with the hue and cry being whipped up 
 against refugees and immigrants, and under the crescendo of calls from the 
 forces of repression for more such repression – another voice needs to be 
 heard. Come to a rally/speak-out/press conference to raise this much-needed 
 voice. \n\nThis action is jointly initiated by World Can’t Wait, CODEPINK 
 and OccupySF Action Council.\n\nWe’re at a moment when it is not 
 sufficient to identify with the people of France and denounce that violence 
 of last Friday (which we must do of course). All people of conscience must 
 also see that the lives of people across the Middle East living and dying 
 under the rain of bombs are equally important with the lives of ourselves 
 in the U.S., France, and anywhere else in the West. \n\nThe drums beating 
 for more war are very loud. And there is a crying need for there to be a 
 strong counter to this – we hope, comprised of many voices! – 
 representing people in the U.S. who refuse to let the cruel and horrible 
 Paris events be a justification for supporting further aggressions by the 
 U.S. and its allies whether that be more drones, more invasions, more 
 bombing strikes purportedly aimed at “bad guys” but which consistently 
 and continually create a mounting civilian death toll.\n\nOutside City Hall 
 this Friday we will assemble, representing different groups distinguished 
 by many political differences -- but we will unite to say we all refuse the 
 dangerous agenda of heightened war and military aggression, and the 
 attendant escalations in repression that do accompany these moves.\n\nJOIN 
 US this Friday to call for an immediate end to U.S./NATO airstrikes and 
 targeted killings. Retaliation for the devastating events in Paris that 
 left 129 dead is the worst possible response to the reactionary Islamist 
 movement dominating parts of the Middle East. And will add more refugees to 
 the millions desperately trying to survive endless wars for empire. We call 
 for an immediate end to U.S./NATO airstrikes and targeted 
 killings.\n\nphoto: Artists' response to 9/11, performed September 22, 2001
