Stop the War is asking all its members and supporters to step up organising now against the threat of war on Iran.
As Lindsey German’s statement says, the drone attack that killed Qassem Soleimani is an act of war by Donald Trump which risks creating a cycle of violence. Both Iran and Iraq are likely to retaliate and it will draw in other players across the region and beyond.
The anti-war movement needs to respond strongly and quickly. In London we have called a protest outside Downing Street at 2-3pm tomorrow (Saturday).
We are asking our groups, members and supporters to help in the following ways:
– Organise protest where you are.
– Use the statement signed by Jeremy Corbyn as the basis for a petition in your workplace, university, community,
– Pass resolutions against war with Iran in your union branch, Labour Party or student union.
– Organise a public meeting locally or invite a Stop the War speaker to your union, campaign group of Labour Party branch.
Don’t hesitate to e-mail us or phone if you need advice or help. Phone 020 7561 4830 office hours or 07930 536 519 otherwise. Email office@stopwar.org.uk
