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.
Pre-emptive Peace Strike #1
“Don’t Attack Iran”
March 20th 2007 (anniversary of attack on Iraq)
10am Parliament Square, Westminster, London
Join us on our strike for peace
SOCPA Act 2005 – Authorised Demonstration
All welcome
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.
We say no to any threat or action by either UK/USA/Israel.
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.
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.

Oxymoron?

I would have thought that a non-confrontational strike was an oxymoron. I think that war and the killing and maiming going on in Afghanistan and Iraq should be confronted (by peaceful protests).
"...and all will be able to contribute equally within the group."
I think it would be a good idea to make it more effective to make clear what the risks of striking are (I would think that people will potentially lose their jobs, if they have one) and highlight what the legal position is on striking - whether there is a right to strike especially for the many people who are not in a union.
I think it is strange that this is focussing on Iran when there are already two wars that are being fought RIGHT NOW in Afghani-pipeline-istan and Oil-raq. There is no need to wait before protesting this.
