STOP THE CITY IF IRAQ IS ATTACKED
----------------------------
At the National Stop-The-War Demo on March 2nd, Tony Benn issued a call for action over U.S & U.K plans to bomb Iraq. We have launched a major campaign to back Tony Benn's
proposals. This is what he said;

"I agree we need trade union pressure. I agree with Tariq Ali that we must take to the streets. I want to go further. I am an old man. I look back at my life & wonder if we could have done more.
We must do more till the people we elect take notice. Every year for Armistice Day we stop to remember the dead. I have a proposal to make.
The moment the bombing of Iraq begins, we should stop for one hour. We should remember the women of Baghdad who will be widows, the children who will become orphans.
I've never said this before. Non-violent resistance to the government will show they cannot claim to do this in our name. We should stop the buses, stop the trains, stop the schools.
Everyone here should raise the threat of war in their schools, places of worship, where they work & live. We could be facing a Third World War, triggered by stupid men."

On the evening following the outbreak of war we call on everyone to converge at the Bristol Peace Vigil. On May Day we proved we can stop this city. We will do so again if Iraq is attacked.
-----------------------------
PEACE VIGIL : Mon-Fri 5.30-6.30 & Sat 3.00-4.00
(opposite the Hippodrome, city centre)
These times will be open-ended in the event of war
