PRE EMPTIVE STRIKE FOR PEACE - MARCH 20th 2007 - Parliament Square

VITA PAX | 13.03.2007 23:48 | Iraq | Terror War | Workers' Movements | London

Withdraw your labour, book a day off work, or take a break from your usual routine and show the government that you are opposed to any actions or steps that might be taken that threaten the sovereign nation of Iran.



We cannot repeat the mistakes that have been made causing the appalling mindless slaughter of the innocent people of Iraq that we have all felt and witnessed in one form or another in the media. We have to get ourselves organised now in order to have any real chance of saving the Iranian people from the same such horrible fate. It is not too late we can and WE WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

Join us on our strike for peace. All welcome. March 20th 2007 (Anniversary of attack on Iraq)

10am Parliament Square
Westminster, London

SOCPA Act 2005 – Authorised Demonstration

What Sorts Of People Make Up A Strike?

We can all be strikers if we care about each other and other people. The Peace Strike has been formed to provide a direct action movement whereby housewives, parents, students, workers, people on benefits, homeless people, people with disabilities, carers, pensioners, families, etc, can join together in solidarity in a common cause for peace, united in action and standing strong together.

We would also like to hear from individuals, churches, clubs, campaign groups, workers unions, etc, who would like to start a picket and to establish a picket line in their own town or city in solidarity nationwide.

On Strike For Humanity
At first you could book the day off work or ask for a day in lieu. You may prefer to join for part of the day or come for the evening only, depending. You should feel comfortable with the action that you take, come and make new friends and join together to make a stand for peace. And of course, we are not expecting emergency workers to abandon their post...... yet.

Imagine - 2 million people marched for peace but the government ignored them. If 2 million people started to withdraw their labour - all over the country - even just for a few hours and gathered at their town centres - maybe the government would take some notice.

This call is for Strike Number One, on the anniversary of the attack on Iraq. Please join us if you can, just for a few hours, from 10am onwards there will be a programme of speakers during the day and evening.

Code Of Conduct
We would like all participating groups to act accordingly to the following code of conduct:

• To stand united and participate in peaceful non-violent direct action.

• Not to be confrontational but peaceful and respectful in our attitude and manner. We will act in a courteous and responsible manner at all times.

• Everyone is welcome to join us in our planned demonstrations and actions and all will be able to contribute equally within the group.
