Build a Network of Anti-War Activists

[Yoshie Furuhashi]

By now, many activists all over the USA & the rest of the world must 
have sprung into action, organizing, holding press conferences, 
handing out leaflets, gathering in vigils against war, and so on.  In 
Columbus, Ohio, USA as well, we've already held several meetings of 
activists against war; sent out a joint press release; offered 
solidarity to local Muslims in a place of worship & participated in a 
joint press conference with CAIR-Ohio; handed out leaflets; & taken 
part in three vigils.  We'll be meeting again on Sunday, September 
16.  (If you or anyone you know is in Columbus, Ohio, USA, please 
e-mail Yoshie Furuhashi at <furuhashi.1 at osu.edu> or call Yoshie 
Furuhashi & Mark D. Stansbery at 614-668-6554, and we'll plug you 
into our local activist network.)

I'd like to ask you to report on your local & regional activities 
against war -- news likely blocked out by the corporate media.  I 
wish to have the names, e-addresses, & phone numbers of anti-war 
organizers elsewhere who can serve as contact persons.  Please also 
inform us of any national & international anti-war actions being 
planned (we know of & will participate in S29 being organized by the 
International Action Center -- for more info on S29, visit 
<http://www.iacenter.org/>).  Let's build an international network 
(as the imminent war is likely to involve many nations).

In loving solidarity,
