The fourth Women’s March across the country comes in the midst of new wars crises.

When the Campaign against Sanctions and Economic War met Saturday, Jan 4 we decided to take our campaign to the Women’s Marches in NYC this Saturday to raise the destructive impact of US wars, especially on women.

Saturday, January 25th

Join the Global Day of Protest:

No war on Iran!

80+ actions called, 190+ organizations endorsing

While the U.S. has declined for now to carry out further military strikes against Iran, the imposition of even harsher U.S. sanctions is an economic war that will claim the lives of thousands of Iranians.

International Days of Action Against Sanctions and Economic War
March 13 – 15, 2020:

People’s mobilizations around the world have helped defeat Trump’s escalation plans against Iran. Yet the crisis is not over. The U.S. has been forced to retreat from their tactics of desperate assassinations and warmongering, but the Trump administration, which already has over 1,000 different sanctions against Iran, announced that it would increase its economic war on Iran with even tougher sanctions against 17 of Iran’s major industries.

On January 5, the Iraqi parliament voted unanimously to demand the U.S. and its allies must end their occupation of Iraq. In response, the Trump administration has threatened to end Iraq’s access to their own central bank funds, as well as imposing new sanctions on Iraq, if the Iraqis continue to push to end the U.S. military’s colonial occupation.

U.S. sanctions are an act of imperialist war and genocide. Sanctions against Iraq in the 90s killed over 500,000 children. Its time to build the movement to end U.S. imposed sanctions.

On March 13-15, actions across the world will demand the U.S. end its policy of economic terrorism for empire immediately.
