BRC calls for total opposition to the war

BLACK RADICAL CONGRESS STATEMENT OF SUPPORT FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO ANTI-WAR MOVEMENT


BRC calls for total opposition to the war and for renewed renewed resistance


The War against the peoples of Iraq has started. This is one phase of the war for imperial dominance.


In simple terms this is barbarism. In legal terms this war is criminal. In moral terms
this war is immoral and in political terms this war stems from a social system that stands in the path of fulfilling the needs of human beings and preserving the wonders and balance of nature.


Human beings want a planet where they can breathe, where they can live as humans, where children can feel that they have a future, and where they can be free to expand their minds and work for the betterment of all.


The War is Criminal

The present invasion of Iraq with over 250,000 troops, 1000 planes and 100-ship armada is illegal under international law. This massacre masquerading as "war" for peace to protect the security of the region, (the world, to liberate the people of Iraq and to change an authoritarian regime) is actually a test case for the new United States Security doctrine of preemption and global military dominance. Under present international law there is no basis for pre-emption and the present war to change the regime in Baghdad is considered a ?w
The Black Radical Congress is calling on its members and local organizing committees to join in anti war work in their communities and to register their opposition to the war. This will include supporting the selective boycott of US products, joining the peace movement and clarifying the linkages between reparations, peace and justice, wearing reparations ribbons and working with the expanded labor and peace movements to link this war to global racism. Every member of our organization must begin to understand the implications of self mobilization and self organization at a time when the media and the politicians seek to intimidate us. All BRC members must at this time remember the Harriet Tubman principle of unrelenting sacrifice in the struggle for peace and freedom.



The Black Liberation Movement must intensify the opposition to the war in every possible way
