Message from Greater Manchester Coalition Against sanctions & Bombing of Iraq
>
>As an urgent priority we are attempting to make links with all groups and
>individuals who wish to come to be part of a national network of campaigners
>against war on Iraq- taking on the issues of bombing and sanctions as an act
>of war. On the 5th Feb, Market St, Manchester, we will be handing out
>leaflets for the Feb 16th Iraqi Speaker meeting, report back from the
>recent Human Relief Foundation visit to Iraq, Friends Meeting House,
>Manchester; on the 12th some will be encouraging people to send postcards as
>part of the Voices action; on March 18th there will be a rally in
>Manchester; and on April 8th a teach-in on Iraq at the Friends', Manchester.
> Other events as yet not given a date are various actions around army
>recruitment offices to disrupt their recruitment and publicise the war on
>Iraq and either a national or regional conference to make contacts with all
>anti-war groups around the country and discuss the possibility of founding
>a national Campaign against War in the Gulf, to unite people who are opposed
>to this war and who do not wish to see sanctions as a separate issue from
>the imperialist attacks on Iraq. We wish to work with people in as open,
>friendly and democratic manner as possible. We believe the attempt to
>de-link sanctions from bombing or to support some sanctions is tremendously
>dangerous to the movement and to the Iraqi people. One final aim, crucial
>we feel to this movement, is to make links with Iraqis, both in terms of
>visits such as the Sheffield delegation, Human Relief Foundation or Voices
>in the Wilderness sanction busting, and politically with groups such as the
>Iraqi CP or other Iraqi organisations. Jason- for more information please
>phone 01618817774

>
>In addition, I am publishing a National Newsletter, as agreed at the
>meeting. The first eight articles to reach me by Wed 9-2 will be printed
>(no more than a half page of A4 please) and please also send any
>announcements of events, demos etc.
