A coalition of grassroots organizations is sponsoring emergency protests in scores of cities around the country on Saturday to oppose the Trump administration’s attack against Iran. A full list of demonstrations will be updated on this page in the morning, as locations and times are confirmed.
Trump’s unprovoked, illegal attack on Iran is an act of war that threatens to cause unthinkable death and destruction. But the people of this country reject another endless war and will take to the streets now and make our voices heard.
Iran has not attacked the United States. The government has been engaged in diplomatic negotiations up to the very last moment, and has again and again insisted that it has no intention of developing a nuclear weapons program (which Trump claims to have “obliterated” last year anyway). Trump promised to bring peace to the world while he was running for office, but he has done nothing but left a trail of devastation the world over. Rather than making executives at oil companies and weapons manufacturers richer, our tax dollars should be used to meet people’s needs.
Initial sponsoring organizations of the day of protest include: ANSWER Coalition, National Iranian American Council, 50501, American Muslims for Palestine, The People’s Forum, Palestinian Youth Movement, and CODEPINK.
