<blockquote type="cite" cite>To Not in Our Name Networks and
Supporters:<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>As the U.S. government's war drums beat
louder and louder for the devastation of Iraq, Not in Our Name calls
on everyone to step up resistance to this totally unjust
war-in-the-making - a big escalation of the government's war on
the world, accompanied by escalating attacks on civil liberties.<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>We need to build on the tremendous
outpouring of resistance at Oct. 6 Not in Our Name events across the
country, at the Oct. 26 demonstrations in D.C. and San Francisco, and
on the NION National Student/Youth Day of Action Nov. 20 which saw
thousands of high school and college youth passionately declare their
desire for another world and "pledge to make it real."<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>In December, NION is officially launching
our campaign calling on people across the country to display images of
the earth as a symbol of solidarity with the people of the world.
Imagine - at just the time the government is trying to smother
dissent and get people to march behind the red, white and blue in
militaristic lock-step - a million images of the globe/earth on
flags flying in front of schools and town halls, from car antennas, on
posters in store windows, on bulletin boards - in cities and
communities nationwide. NION is preparing posters with the image of
the globe/earth and the words "War on the World? War on Iraq? NOT
IN OUR NAME!" The NION web site (<a
href="http://www.notinourname.net">notinourname.net</a>) has images to
download and materials to order - and more will be available in the
coming days. Create your own designs - and share them by sending
them to info@notinourname.net.<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>On December 10, International Human
Rights Day, we urge you to join with others in your cities and
communities to protest the impending war with Iraq. This will be just
two days after the deadline Iraq has been given to turn over
blueprints of the country - and Bush et al. have already declared
that whatever Iraq does will be justification for war. United for
Peace (<a href="http://www.unitedforpeace.org">unitedforpeace.org</a>)
a new national campaign against war on Iraq which NION is a part of,
has called for nationwide, decentralized actions on that day.
The Iraq Pledge of Resistance (peacepledge.org) which NION also
supports, is planning actions on that day as well. Check out their
websites for more information.<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Join already-planned events on Dec.10 or
call your own rallies, vigils, community meetings, campus forums and
speak-outs, street demonstrations and actions to say NOT IN OUR NAME
to war on Iraq. Take the Not in Our Name Pledge of Resistance into
every event, along with posters and flags with the image of the earth
as a symbol that we stand with the people of the world and are
committed "to resist the injustices done by our government in our
names."<br>
</blockquote>
<blockquote type="cite" cite>Finally, get ready to respond to
escalations of U.S. war preparations and war acts. Work with others in
your cities and communities to plan a central gathering place for
emergency protests and ways to contact people on short notice. Check
the NION web site regularly for updates.<br>
