Tcgreens archive: Teach-ins, Vigils and Demonstrations Worldwide Call for Justice, Not War

As United States government officials attempt to rally the world's richest nation to arms, citizens around the globe have begun to participate in teach-ins, peace vigils, demonstrations and other public displays of dissent to question the logic of going to war to put an end to violence. Demonstrations have happened or are scheduled around in the world in cities such as Mexico City, Delhi, Sydney, London, Athens, Okinawa, Tokyo and other cities around Japan, Brasilia, Seoul, Montreal, Hamilton, Ontario, Halifax, Ottawa, Vancouver and Victoria, British Columbia. Journalist Arthur Stamoulis has compiled accounts of peace and justice actions that have appeared on over twenty American Indymedia sites since the September 11 attacks.

A 70' long banner entitled "Wage Peace Now" was hung from a crane in downtown Denver on September 22.

On Saturday, September 29, several demonstrations originally planned in Washington,DC, to question the World Bank and International Monetary fund will now focus on peace and international justice. Please continue to post action reports, from the United States and around the world, to the Indymedia newswires.
