Join World Can’t Wait and many other anti-war & anti-torture activists as we protest Obama’s rebranding of the Bush/Cheney program of endless war, preventive detention, and legalized torture.
Additionally, many other groups (such as those organized around single-payer healthcare) will no doubt make their presence felt.
We will also award this pro-war, pro-torture president with the newly-created, George Orwell "War is Peace" Prize.
Assemble: 4 PM – Union Square at Powell near Geary
Protest: 4:30 PM – Powell Street, between Geary & Post, in front of the St. Francis Hotel
World Can’t Wait will wheel out the 10-ft Obaminator, wearing his newly-minted "War is Peace" Prize medallion flanked by the super-pickets declaring: "U.S. Out Of Iraq & Afghanistan," accompanied by a cursory list of Obama’s "accomplishments" that include:
- Escalation in Afghanistan
- Continuation in Iraq
- Bombing in Pakistan
- Suppressing the Torture Photos and,
- Refusing Prosecution of War Criminals
What the United States is doing all around the world — especially in the Middle East — and what Barack Obama presides over, as commander-in-chief, is horrible and brutal; just ask an Iraqi, a Pakistani, or an Afghan. See the Afghanistan Fact Sheet.
The people of the world need to see the people of this country repudiate the towering war crimes being committed by this "peace" president in our names.
