“The world is teetering on the brink of war. There are many factors leading to this

global crisis, namely: the increasingly aggressive actions of US/NATO forces; the raging wars in the Middle East, the ever-expanding arms race with its devastating consequences on national economies and social spending; bellicose language is replacing diplomatic negotiations; the economic crises facing country after country; the destruction of the global environment through war and unfettered exploitation and the impact of this destruction on public health.

This madness must be stopped by popular opposition, but none of us can stop it alone. Global peace forces must come together, mobilizing millions of people in our countries, and around the world, for peace.

Based on this understanding, we have initiated the Global Campaign Against US/NATO Military Bases”.
