BACKGROUND
In Nov 2004, the US - with British assistance - launched a massive assault
against the Iraqi city of Fallujah, almost totally destroying it, killing
hundreds of civilians, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their
homes, and using white phosphorus - a substance that burns down to the
bone - as a weapon.

Since then at least 21 more Iraqi towns and cities have been attacked by US
led forces, Fallujah itself has been turned into a virtual police state, and
evidence of atrocities by US-led forces - such as the recently exposed
massacre in Haditha - continues to mount.

WHAT WE'RE DEMANDING
- an immediate end to the US/UK military occupation of Iraq
- massive reparations and debt cancellation so that Iraqis can rebuild their
country free from foreign interference
- prosecution of those responsible for war crimes

WHO WE ARE
The Mass Action Group is an ad hoc collection of activists - most, but not
all, of whom are based in London - who were involved in organising the 2
April "Naming the Dead" mass act of civil disobedience in Parliament Square
(the first mass act of civil disobedience against the occupation of Iraq to
take place in the UK since the 2003 invasion - see
 http://tinyurl.com/orq9e).

Over the past 6 years members of the Mass Action Group have also helped to
organise the following events: the August 2000 “Die-in for the People of
Iraq”; the 21 October 2002 mass sit-down protest in Whitehall against the
bombing of Afghanistan; the 2 December 2002 “Warzone Whitehall” die-in; the
19 January 2003 mass blockade of Britain’s military nerve centre at
Northwood (where 70 were arrested – the largest such action to take place in
England in the run-up to the invasion); the 15 February 2003 mass sit-down
in Picadilly Circus following the big anti-war march; the 5/6 April 2003
“Reclaim the Bases” weekend of direct action at military bases across the
UK.

In addition to the tents that participants will be bringing themselves, the
organisers are hoping to provide several dozen tents decorated with powerful
anti-war art and texts. To help pay for these a call is being made for
people and groups to sponsor tents (minimum donation £15). Any tents not in
police custody at 12 noon on 30 Oct will be collected and distributed among
the sponsors! Contact  voices@voicesuk.org or 0845 458 2564 if you or your
