Summary (from SF IMC):

As the United States amasses troops in the Middle East, civilian dissent against the imminent attack on Iraq is threatening to boil over. On 1/11 the streets of Los Angeles filled with more than 20,000 people in the biggest anti-war demonstraton the City of Angels has seen since Vietnam. People also converged in Mountain View, Chicago, and Twin Cities over the weekend.

San Francisco is gearing up for its own massive mobilization to take place on January 18 to correspond with a huge demo planned for Washington D.C. Whatever your affiliation or even if you don't have one, now is the time to speak up, organize, and take part in the resistance.

Opposition to Bush's war on the poor in this country, as well as, on the rest of the globe is growing. Massive demonstrations and walkouts are planned for the day the bombs "officially" start falling. Human shield missions are also getting underway, with dozens of people going to strategic locations throughout Iraq.
