September 14th, 2001
Berkeley, CA USA

Approx. 250 people filled a UC Berkeley classroom - and part of the hallway - for the first organizing meeting of the Anti-War Coalition.

The Anti-War Coalition’s “Three Points of Unity”:
1. Stop the War.
2. Stop Racist Scapegoating - Defend Arab, Muslim and Middle Eastern Communities.
3. Defend Civil Liberties.

The Anti-War Coalition is currently organizing for local participation in The National Day of Action taking place on Thursday, September 20th, 2001.
More information on this event is coming soon.

Contact information will be made available shortly.

Just how many thousands of Americans would have to be killed before you stopped trying to peddle this sh*t?

Clearly 5,000 wasn't enough, so it is 10,000? 20,000? Do I hear 100,000?

I suppose if you guys were around 50 years ago, we'd all be speaking German today. (save for the Jews, homosexuals, etc.).

Just how many thousand AFGHANIS, would have to be killed before you stopped trying to peddle this sh*t?

Clearly 5,000 won't be enough, so is it 10,000? 20,000? Do I hear "kill all them A-rabs".

Are you willing to do your share of the killing - murder a few innocent men, women and children yourself?

Do you really want to be a terrorist Pat?

Just wondering.

I won't defend the East Coast attacks, but it's still a fact that the roughly 5,000 confirmed dead (so far) is about the same number of children the U.S.-led embargo has killed in Iraq *every month* for years (although recent numbers may be a bit lower) -- ostensibly to unseat a man whom the U.S. gov't helped get started in the biowar business. This doesn't include the Palestinians the U.S. gov't is backing Israel in killing & displacing, the Kurds the U.S. gov't is backing Turkey in killing & displacing, people in Chiapas, Colombia. . . .

The U.S. gov't's prime suspect, Osama Bin Laden, got his start in the terrorist biz courtesy of the U.S. CIA in the scuffle with the (then) Soviet Union over Afghanistan. The U.S. has trained and equipped terrorists around the world for decades to do its dirty work by proxy. Meanwhile, U.S. weapons companies have increased their lead in littering the world with instruments of death -- from land mines to jet fighters -- for profit.

The people of New York got caught in the crossfire of a war between their gov't and people who would rather die than be taken over, and who were determined to do as much damage to their enemy as they could in the process.

The response, if Bush et al. can sell it politically, will be for the U.S. to try harder for a monopoly on terrorism. This can't work; it can only cost us (U.S. citizens) more of our freedom, make us more hated abroad, and make further attacks more desparate.
i am hoping to contact the new anti-war coalition in hopes of offering my time and efforts. i'm a grad student in women studies @ sfsu and would like to know how to get ahold of you folks so that we can do more together....until you post contact info please contact the women studies dept. at sfsu and the receptionist will contact us students. thanks...

Sounds good, but could you add education, teach science, Darwinism, critical thinking, rational thought. These religious people and New Agers and UFO and angel people are nuts and need education. They act like they are in the Middle Ages! Whate happened to the progression of humanity, of science and technlogy? I want more progress, more fun and science and more positive technology. Why does everyone want to stop progress all of a sudden? That's the problem here. Everyone wants to stop the natural progress of humanity! Let's get richer, faster, more fun, freer, free market, less government, more freedom. Feudalism has always followed Socialism throughout history of humanity and in every country of the world. The whole world seems to be getting less progressive and less positive and ignorant!
