In the early hours of Saturday morning, Feb. 28, before most were awake, the ANSWER Coalition issued a call for an “EMERGENCY NATIONWIDE DAY OF ACTION TODAY, SAT. FEB 28—STOP THE WAR WITH IRAN!” The call was endorsed by CODEPINK and its head Medea Benjamin, the National Iranian American Council, 50501, American Muslims for Palestine, The People’s Forum, and the Palestinian Youth Movement.
The call charged that “Trump and Israel are carrying out an unprovoked, illegal bombing of Iran. This war threatens to cause unthinkable death and destruction. Iran has not attacked the United States. The people of this country reject another war for regime change and empire, a war which only serves the interests of a tiny elite and oil executives. Today, protests will take place in cities around the United States to oppose a new war with Iran.”
