Bring the War Home broadens scope, delays start

After much discussion, Bring The War Home is broadening its scope. Rather than a week of action, Bring The War Home will be an on-going campaign. As long as our so-called leaders are waging war abroad, we will be here to remind those at home that we are at war.

Even with the preemptive "handover of power" in Iraq, Americans troops still occupy Iraq and other lands, we still control puppet governments worldwide, and we are still exploiting poorer people elsewhere to afford our SUVs. We are still at war.

Regarding the June 27th to July 4th focused week of actions, the consensus was: Good idea, bad timing. With the recent conclusion of Reclaim the Commons in San Francisco, the preparations for the DNC and the RNC also this summer, many activists and ordinary folk, while expressing solidarity, had little time or attention for Bring The War Home. A week of resistance doesn't let us off the hook for our responsibility for American bombs falling on faraway people.

Current plans are for continued and on-going resistance through the summer, guerilla outbreaks of street theater and independent direct action to increase the costs to the war machine and war profiteers. An October concentrated week of action before the election is currently being planned. If you'd like to be part of it, contact us early.
