Aims and Objectives of the Stop the War Coalition

The Stop the War Coalition was formed on September 21st, 2001 at a public meeting of over 2,000 people in London. The Coalition is campaigning under the following slogans: Stop the war No to a racist backlash Defend civil liberties

The resolution below, setting out the Coalition's platform, was ratified at public meetings held in October 2001 in London. 1. The aim of the Coalition should be very simple: to stop the war currently declared by the United States and its allies against ‘terrorism’. We condemn the attacks on New York and we feel the greatest compassion for those who lost their life on 11th September 2001. But any war will simply add to the numbers of innocent dead, cause untold suffering, political and economic instability on a global scale, increase racism and result in attacks on civil liberties. The aims of the campaign would be best expressed in the name Stop the War Coalition. 2. Supporters of the Coalition, whether organisations or individuals, will of course be free to develop their own analyses and organise their own actions. But there will be many important occasions when united initiatives around broad stop the war slogans can mobilise the greatest numbers. 3. The Coalition shall elect a steering committee which reflects the breadth of those involved to carry forward the aims and objectives. Local groups should have regular, open and inclusive meetings. 4. We call on all peace activists and organisations, trade unionists, campaigners and labour movement organisations to join with us in building a mass movement that can stop the drive to war. 5. We are committed to opposing any racist backlash generated by this war. We will fight to stop the erosion of civil rights.

If you are a member of an organisation that is opposed to Bush and Blair's on-going "war on terror" and agree with our aims and objectives, we urge you to ask your organisation to consider affiliating to the Stop the War Coalition. Individuals are also welcome to join the Stop the War Coalition. Together, we can make our voice heard.

The "war on terror" has progressed through a number of stages, and naturally the slogans of the day have changed to fit. It has also had consequences far beyond the immediate US-led military attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq, but in each case, it has been the US-led drive to war which has been the prime cause of these crises, backlashes and other repercussions.

In the UK the Stop the War Coalition has organised massive demonstrations against these wars, in conjunction with the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and the Muslim Association of Britain. Today, we are trying to End the Occupation of Iraq and to Stop the War on the Iraqi people. A wide range of international organisations which are attempting to do the same thing are listed on our links page.

That number of cops has been growing since this a.m. Before long, we'll have the other 50,000 cops BIll Clinton was supposed to have put on the street.

Time for a TAX on the protesters (any and all) who cost the tax payers money.

Please email these terrorists

Please stop calling people who disagree with you 'terrorists'. It cheapens the word and detracts from your credibility.

A terrorist is one who purposely uses physical force against non-combatants to instill fear in a population with the purpose of effecting political change.

The vast majority of protesters of the left and the right do not meet that definition. These people are dissenters, and only totalitarian states treat dissidents as criminals.

Tomorrow's Brit liberal rag headlines:

100K PROTEST BUSH!

58.9 MILLION STAY HOME

[mewzilla]

16,000 cops and it took them two hours to get Granny off that fence?

[Abe Froman]

I really don't see why Bush doesn't just stay at home and avoid this altogether. It was save both Britian and the U.S. money and besides how hard is it to pick up a phone?

I note also that their initial "coalition" included the Muslim Association of Britain. Since they were organized on September 21, 2001, it's obvious that their initial intent was to protest retaliation against terrorists in Afghanistan......Iraq wasn't even in the picture then. Their website links to the usual assortment of commie/anarchist websites including ANSWER and MoveOn.org. Stopwar and ANSWER are probably funded by the same benefactor......(George Soros?)

Remember, NOT a terrorist:

The vast majority of these maggot-infested pondscum have never worked a day in their life. They're too stupid to know that their very existence depended upon the Good ole U.S. pulling their fat out of the fire in WWII. If it wasn't for Reagan ignoring this same bunch of human flotsam and jetsam, the evil empire would have never fallen. Our Country is infested with the same gutless maggots and many of them are running for President.
