national day of action against foreign military bases

No to war - no to NATO Posted on January 25, 2018 by

The conference attendees* decided on some next steps. A national day of action against foreign military bases is being planned for February 23, the anniversary of the US seizing Guantanamo Bay, Cuba through a “perpetual lease” that began in 1903. Activists are encouraged to plan local actions. If you plan an event, contact and we’ll post it on the events page. The demands will include closing the base and prison in Guantanamo, returning the land to Cuba and ending the US blockade.

*The Coalition Against US Foreign Military Bases, held its inaugural event January 12-14, 2018 at the University of Baltimore in Maryland.

Ne financez pas la recherche de l’industrie de l’armement par le budget européen. Aucun euro ne devrait financer les technologies militaires.

Verhindern Sie, dass die finanzielle Unterstützung der Rüstungsindustrie im neuen EU-Haushalt eingeplant wird. EU-Gelder sollen nicht in die Entwicklung neuer Militärtechnik fließen.
