Category: About World Can’t Wait

World Can’t Wait is a national movement formed to halt and reverse the terrible program of war, repression and theocracy that was initiated by the Bush / Cheney regime and the ongoing crimes that continue to this day. Founded in 2005, the original mission of The World Can’t Wait – Drive Out the Bush Regime was to “create a political situation where the Bush administration’s program is repudiated, where Bush himself is driven from office, and where the whole direction he has been taking U.S. society is reversed.”
 
Through protests in hundreds of cities involving tens of thousands of people, this movement was launched. Tens of thousands signed and many donated to publish the Call to Drive Out the Bush Regime (which was printed as a full-page ad in The New York Times, USA Today, and multiple local papers in 2005 and 2006). More on the history of World Can’t Wait.
 
Based on the truth and holding to principle, the organization has continued to mobilize serious political resistance aimed at actually stopping the “war OF terror” with all its associated outrages of political repression, brutal torture and more which continue under the Obama administration. In 2010, World Can’t Wait published the statement Crimes are Crimes – No Matter Who Does Them in The New York Times, The New York Review of Books, The Nation, The Humanist, and Rolling Stone online. In 2013, World Can’t Wait published the statement Close Guantanamo Now in The New York Times and The Progressive.

Mission statement:

World Can’t Wait mobilizes people living in the United States to stand up and stop war on the world, repression and torture carried out by the US government. We take action, regardless of which political party holds power, to expose the crimes of our government, from war crimes to systematic mass incarceration, and to put humanity and the planet first.
