DESCRIPTION:
Under the banner "Women and Men Say No To

Military/Corporate Occupation", join a weekly protest and vigil against

Bechtel Corporation. Thanks to all who have participated thus far - please

come back and spread the word! As the resistance to US occupation

increases daily, Bechtel, the second largest recipient of money to

'rebuild' Iraq, continues to implement US control of Iraq's resources.

Bechtel is the world's largest contractor, profiteering from war, human

suffering and destruction of the environment. Bechtel made cluster bombs

and other weapons of mass destruction, has built nearly half of the world's

nuclear power plants and has invaded Shoshone land to oversee the nuclear

dumpsite at Yucca Mountain. Bechtel has a history with Peabody Coal which

led to the displacement of Navaho people from Big Mountain. They have

tried to privatize water in many countries; in Soweto South Africa women

and men are resisting and in Bolivia Bechtel's efforts were defeated by a

grassroots rebellion led by women. Women, who are hit hardest by Bechtel's

genocidal policies, are holding Bechtel accountable for its crimes.

It is up to us to stand with the women, children and men who are refusing

occupation in Iraq, and war and occupation everywhere! Don't let Bush or

Bechtel off the hook! They must be held accountable! Your presence and

support are urgently needed! A weekly picket is held at Bechtel

headquarters in San Francisco by the Global Women's Strike (GWS). Daily

anti-war pickets are held by the GWS in Parliament Square, London, and

weekly anti-war pickets are also held by GWS in Galway, Ireland.

Called by the Global Women's Strike. We would like to thank those who came

out for the lively vigil against Bechtel and occupation on Nov. 4th.

Thanks also to the 100 people who participated in the kickoff

Halloween-themed protest on Oct. 28th as well as the co-sponsors and

endorsers of the 28th action. We invite organizations to sponsor a week or

more of your choosing as the protest/vigils continue through mid-December.
