ALL WELCOME!
The September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade
Centre (WTC) and the Pentagon by suicide bombers,
leading to over 4,000 deaths have grabbed world
attention.
We anarchists, anti-authoritarians and socialist
libertarians condemn the attacks and extend our
condolences to the families of those injured or
killed. The death of thousands of ordinary civilians -
including many ordinary workers - is not acceptable.
The use of civilian aircraft for such an operation is
authoritarian and coercive and shows the contempt of
terrorists for human life.
It also shows that the terrorists are anti-working
class: attacking people just because they are
"American" regardless of their class position is
reactionary and xenophobic.
At the same time as we oppose the terrorism of the
bombers, we oppose equally the terrorism of all
states, especially the US government This capitalist
military-industrial machine has been involved in more
than 216 armed interventions against other countries
and regions. We condemn any and all attempts by the
Bush regime to use the attacks as an excuse for war
against Afghanistan or any other country that is
deemed to be a "terrorist" regime. The main victims of
such a war will be ordinary people, workers and
peasants. The ruling elite organized in the Taliban
will be mostly unaffected because they have the money
to hide and to protect themselves. Bush and the US
elite were hardly affected by the WTC attacks,
equally, the Jehadi and Taliban groups will also be
unaffected.
We are also totally opposed to any attempt by the US
capitalist class to build a global "anti-terror"
coalition or to increase their repressive powers. We
are against the Bush campaigns of extending police
powers of arrest and surveillance ?Increasing military
spending ?Increasing spending on intelligence services
such as the CIA ?Building a US-led global military
force against "terrorism"
SO WHO ARE WE?
For the most part we are Youth, Students,workers,
parents, sons and daughters..plain people! from all
over the Country who want to fight in this anti-war
movement, in our communities and schools from an
anti-authoritarian perspective.
We believe that the main task as anarchists during
this period is to stop the war drive and growing
political repression, and to fight racism against
ordinary people of Middle Easstern, South Asian,
Muslims, or Arab decent, and others who are wrongly
blamed for the attacks. People of color are the ones
directly affected during this time, and will continue
to be attacked even when we are told this war is over.
We ALSO call for support for Middle Eastern, North
African, Central/South Asian and Indonesian workers
against the fundamentalists. These goals can only be
accomplished through mass action by the working class
itself.
OUR DEMANDS:
* We call on US soldiers - particularly those from the
oppressed minorities in the US - to refuse to fight
Bush's imperialist and capitalist war
* We call for a campaign of rolling mass action - in
both East and West -against Bush's war
* We call for proletarian risings in the Muslim world
against capitalism, fundamentalism, terrorism and the
US attacks
* Freedom and democracy for Palestine/ Israel and
withdrawal of all US forces from the Middle East
* No compromise to our rights as indiviudal human
beings. We refuse to sit still and live in a police
state.
* We call on workers, activist and revolutionaries to
mobilize against the war, and all consequences and
actions that are taken by this war
* working class action and working class autonomy!
Our group is a National network of people, we are
completely open group for discussion and dialogue and
are going to be building and organizing around the
anti-war/anti US Military Occupation movement from a
non hierarchal, not patriarchal,
anti-authoritarian/anarchist prespective. We would
like for YOU individuals to get involved and plug in
to help start up a group on your campus or in your
community. The point of this group is to bring people
together those who oppose the US military war drive
and help empower individuals and one another in doing
activism and organizing around these issues. We want
to encourage more people nationwide to get involved,
hold meetings and start organizing. We are in the
process of settingup a nationwide web page that people
can plug into to see how meetings, and events that
this group does are going.

We are dedicated on working with our Middle Eastern
brothers and sisters not just by telling them how to
organize but actually by listening and working along
with Middle Eastern cultural groups and Islamic
centers in educating ourselves and one another, and
building a strong resistance against the war and US
military occupation.
