Greetings from Cascadia (The Pacific Northwest of North America)
I am a student from the US. I get most of my information from the Uropean Press (I know it's not always great, but it's beter than the corporate crap that we get here.) I would like to say from those in the US involved in the Justice and Peace Movement (there are far more of us than the media will let on,) that it is a real inspiration to see how effective and organized UK activists have been.

One of the most difficult parts of being in a country will an almost complete media blackout is that we have been conditioned for inaction and fear and most people feel very alone in their concerns about the war. It becomes very hard to create an effective movemt when everyone is immersed in a culture of missinformation and fear.

Do any of you who read IMC-UK have any advice or words of wisdom for students and activist in the US? You have the advantage of being within an exciting political climate and having an outside perspective on situation in the US. We are working on building momentum-but it may be several years before we are where you are now.

-keep up the good work!
