No to War Call to Action October 6, 2017, marks the 16th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan – the longest foreign war in U.S. history. The Afghan war, which has been a thoroughly bipartisan effort, was originally railed against by Donald Trump when he was running for president. He claimed to be against U.S. troop involvement in Afghanistan. Now he is moving forward with a “secret” plan of escalation that will also include Pakistan. He says the secrecy … Continue reading →

Gedenkrede zum Hiroshimatag in Berlin – von Lucas Wirl
Sehr geehrte Frau Bürgermeisterin, Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren, liebe Kolleginnen und Kollegen, wir haben uns – 72 Jahre nach den Atombombenabwürfen auf Hiroshima und Nagasaki – an der Weltfriedensglocke im Volkspark Friedrichshain versammelt, um den ersten Opfern des nuklearen Zeitalters zu gedenken.

Afghanistan: 6 Myths and How to Respond
After almost 16 years in Afghanistan, what will it take for our Elected Officials to represent our interests, and ask: is there a military solution for peace in Afghanistan? And, what will it take to try a different approach? Please, take a quick moment now and tell your members of Congress that you expect them to stand up and fulfill their responsibilities by repealing the 2001 AUMF, and debating whether to authorize continued, endless war in Afghanistan. Here are six … Continue reading →

THE CAMPAIGN „STOP AIR BASE RAMSTEIN“ AND ITS ACTION WEEK 2017
The US Air Force Base at Ramstein, Germany, is a central pivot for preparing and executing wars of aggression violating international law. Most of the lethal missions of US combat drones, e.g. in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen, Syria, and Africa, are conducted via Ramstein’s satellite relay station. US drone pilotes from a multitude of military bases use Ramstein for operating killer drones in illegal war missions around the world. In Ramstein itself, about 650 personnel continuously analyze, update and pass … Continue reading →
AN INTERVIEW WITH ALAIN ROUY ABOUT THE G20 IN HAMBURG
Considering the recent events such as Macron’s recent election and from a French perspective, what is your opinion of the G 20? In Hamburg, the newly-elected French president, so far presented as “young and modern”, only perpetuated the habitual, neoliberal politics of his predecessors, Sarkozy and Hollande. No new ideas or initiatives were mentioned by President Macron in reaction to the dramatic failures of past unfair commercial practices, notably in Africa or concerning his support for the Paris Accord on … Continue reading →

No to the G20 agenda!
Ann Wright in an interview with Andrea Beck by weltnetz.tv
Ann Wright is a retired United States Army colonel, who left the Army because of her opposition to the Iraq War and engaged in the US peace movement particularly with Code Pink USA.
Wright explains in an interview with Andrea Beck why she is participating in the protest activities against the G20 in Hamburg – she says NO to globalisation and NO to the concentration of wealth and prosperity in hands of very few people. Ann Wright´s wish is that the G20 discuss peace and conflict dissolution without war.

mailing ICAN 13.07.2017 Dear friends, Last week we banned nuclear weapons. It still feels a bit surreal to think that we pulled it off. But what does it all mean? Treaties and international law is sometimes a complex issue, and we’ve gotten a lot of questions about what the treaty does and how it will work. So we thought we collect the most common questions we get. What does the treaty prohibit? The treaty prohibits states from developing, testing, producing, manufacturing, … Continue reading →

One day after and some rest one may finally ask the question what did the summit achieve for whom politically? This is the attempt approaching the reality of the G20 summit. It will name the deeply undemocratic and aggressive behavior of the police, the impressive and courageous protest, and the outstanding demonstration of the 76,000 as well as the condemnable actions of the criminal mob. We will learn how many provocateurs were involved. An independent commission is highly needed. What … Continue reading →

NATO Summit in Brussels:
Armament and war but also „we will not be silent!“
At the NATO Summit in Brussels US President Trump wants to collect imaginary debts and the European heads of state reiterate their willingness to spend 2% of GDP on armament.
