[antiwar-van] Global Day of Action: World Says No to War on Yemen!

[Kira Koshelanyk]

January 25 Global Day of Action: WORLD SAYS NO TO WAR ON YEMEN!

>> Canada/U.S. - Stop Arming Saudi Arabia!
>> Stop Bombing Yemen!
>> Stop U.S./Saudi War on Yemen!
>> Saudi/UAE Lift the Blockade on Yemen!

** See Calendar of Events and Actions below to get involved! **

Yemen today is the world's worst humanitarian crisis, according to the United Nations. This statement was made even before the Covid-19 pandemic, and today Yemen has one of the very worst Covid-19 death rates in the world: It kills 1 in 4 people who test positive. This brutal crisis is due to the U.S.-backed, Saudi-led war on Yemen which has devastated the country since 2015 through relentless and indiscriminate bombings and an air, sea and land blockade.

Over 230 organizations worldwide, including Mobilization Against War and Occupation (MAWO), have signed on to the "Joint Statement: World Says No to War on Yemen". MAWO endorses the Global Day of Action for Yemen on January 25th and we encourage our supporters to join the actions against war on Yemen!
