Following the STOP THE WAR demonstration from Hyde Park to Trafalgar Square proceed with us down Whitehall / Westminster carrying white flags for peace in order to make a historical stand from 4.30pm.

This will be a peaceful protest.

Be prepared to stay as long as needed.

Help leafleting and campaign with us to mobilise the widest possible support. Online media can also reach millions. Use Facebook, Twitter, your email, website, blog etc. Following the demonstration we need a 60,000+ critical mass of Volunteers to then proceed to Westminster and Whitehall to send a determined message to our Government that the war in Afghanistan must end!

“Everyone can make a difference”
This war is unwinnable

Please join this crucial demonstration in Westminster and Whitehall which will give back a voice to the anti­war majority in this country and tell the politicians the time for peace is… NOW!

The war in Afghanistan has entered its 10th year, longer than World War I and World War II combined.
⚫ 77% of the general public do not support the illegal war and occupation of Afghanistan.
⚫ 342 service personnel have been killed – twice the number killed in the Iraq war to date, with over 4,000 seriously wounded field hospital admissions,.
⚫Tens of thousands of unarmed innocent Afghan civilians have been killed since 2001, with 2010 the worst year yet.

Too many innocent lives in Afghanistan are being lost.

What for?

“Afghanistan Time for Peace.”

To Stop War – The People Must Stop!

The Orange Revolution ­ staged by the people of the Ukraine, followed the 2004 Presidential elections, for which,  it was claimed showed massive corruption, fraud and voter intimidation.
This democratic revolution was highlighted by a series of acts of civil disobedience, mass sit­ins and general strikes, with thousands of supporters camping out along the central streets of Kiev.

“Lets UNITE now for future Peace.”
The people are saying;

“CUT THE WAR, NOT OUR BUDGETS!”

Listen to the people

Why it’s time for the troops to come home

We, the people, have nothing more to lose by taking a stand  now for common humanity.
We need UK forces to withdrawn soon; we need to break the NATO coalition. If we don’t act now, this could result in an escalation of war into Iran.

So much bravery, loyalty, devotion; so many young lives already destroyed. Unmanned drone planes continue to bomb Pakistan daily, despite the fact that NO declaration of war has been made. This is not reported within mainstream media.

The war in Afghanistan is a mess. The insurgency grows,  and why wouldn’t it: foreign troops have invaded and occupied their country! The people responsible for 9/11 are no longer there. So why are we?
Why are we offering up the lives of our sons and daughters every single day, for no reason anyone can define. The October 20th Governments budgets cuts are upon us. These are the severest spending cuts since the 1930s – all in order to fund an illegal war.
Prime Minister Cameron says our British troops will be in Afghanistan at least another five years at a cost of £5bn a year, while cutting child benefits to save £1bn a year and cutting housing benefit to
the poor to save £1.8bn a year.
Following the successful withdraw of our service personnel, we, as a country
must take responsibility for ongoing humanitarian aid and support to the people of
Afghanistan.

Peace Strike is committed to bring our service personnel back from Afghanistan alive, and to aid in the prevention of further conflicts within the middle east especially Iran.

Vigil For Iran

TO STOP WAR-THE PEOPLE MUST

¤  STOP ¤

Peacestrike operates a 24hr on-going Vigil For Iran located at Parliament Square Westminster London SW1A OAA

It is authorized under the SOCPA 2005 legislation concerning demonstrations in and around the Houses of Parliament.
The Vigil is authorized for up to 20,000 people and started on 1st September 2009.

We welcome all peaceful people who want to share their concern in they escalating threat of a pre-emptive strike on Iran.

The political situation in Iran and in the wider International arena is complex. We at Peacestrike advocate peaceful negotiations aimed at preventing another war in the Middle East.
Any Pre-emptive Strike against a Sovereign Nation is seen as an ‘Act of Aggression’ in International Law and is morally injust and therefore unacceptable.
Any expansion of the war now into Iran will destabalise the world and mean decades of death and destruction for all concerned, not to mention the Iranians themselves.

Do we really want to live in a militarized world?

Do we want our children growing up ready to be mobalised for war?
We think not, and and therefore, our stand is to say ‘NO’ to any form of oppression or threat towards Iran and the Iranian people. It is  important NOW to build-up a regular Vigil outside the Houses of Parliament in order to show our justifiable concerns. Remember it is our RIGHT to demonstrate and to be seen and heard. We live in a free and democratic country so therefore, BECAUSE WE CAN….WE MUST!

If we don’t show our concerns now and build up International Solidarity towards Iran, we may end up in the same senario of lies and deception that led to the illegal war in Iraq…

We can only prevent another war from happening if we act now BEFORE any possible attack.

Come and join us now, all welcome!
