Location: Feb 21-23, many places
We are planning the second-annual Global Days of Action to #CloseBases!
The United States has used its bases in Latin America and the Caribbean to attack Venezuela, while threatening to take over Greenland to build more bases there. Iran is bordered by seven nations with U.S. bases. The nations to the south and east of China are packed with U.S. bases, as is Europe, as is Israel. Africa has foreign bases from several empires. Russia is making more use of its bases in Belarus. (But African nations have kicked out French bases, and Ecuador rejected U.S. bases!)
You can’t have bases without wars. You can’t have wars without bases.
Concerned people everywhere can use our resources to easily plan a local educational or activist event of any kind: a panel, a protest, an art display, a banner-drop, a sit-in, a press conference, a film screening, a rally, a march.
Local events are more popular when they’re part of something global.
Go to the website, look through the toolkit, and add your event to the map so we can help promote it!
If there’s something you can’t find on the website, just reply to this email.
