((( 6 ))) CONTRIBUTE TO MAWO’S ANTIWAR ORGANIZING IN THE NEW YEAR

2013 has begun, and what will this new year hold? With the imperialist war drive against Syria and Iran escalating, the destruction of Libya continuing, and the occupations of Afghanistan, Iraq and Palestine becoming more and more an obvious tragedy for the people of these countries, the necessity of building a united and effective antiwar movement is a critical task for the coming year. Let’s unite to make this a year of struggle against war and occupation, and a year of building a better world!
