MARIN PEACE & JUSTICE COALITION
Join a movement that lifts
the human spirit, that embraces the Bill of Rights, that creates
a true democracy, an independent media and a sustainable world with
peace and justice for all!
OUR PERSPECTIVE
Moved by the event of 9/11 we came together to challenge
our government's unethical and illegal military response. Peaceful
and just solutions will prevail only if we examine our nation's
policies at home and abroad and address the root causes of war
and terrorism. Let us be guided by compassion as we challenge
war and stop the terror of poverty, inequality and injustice.
Let us bring together the widening circle who want to make real
a world that works for all.
We oppose all ethnic, racial, political and religious
scapegoating. A true democracy welcomes dissent, protects political
and legal rights and requires an uncensored media.
We are working for an end to Israel's illegal occupation
of the West Bank and Gaza which has been largely financed by U.S.
tax dollars. We call for an end to U.S.-sponsored sanctions, bombings,
assassinations, torture, death squads and dictators that take
lives and leave wounds.
We oppose U.S. economic and military domination
for oil and empire in Iraq, Afaghanistan, Colombia, the Philippines
and around the world. We support these nations and all people
in the world who struggle for self-determination, human rights
and peace.
We support the resolution of all international conflicts
through the United Nations, international law, the establishment
of an international criminal court and support all treaties that
promote global demilitarization.
Our Coalition is part of a growing international
movement demanding a world that meets human and environmental
needs. We join the international community that invites the United
States to be a part of this world.
