BRISTOL COALITION AGAINST THE WAR

At a meeting held on 27th September, over 150 people came together to hear speakers from; CND, Bristol Muslim Cultural Association, The Peace Vigil, Globalise Resistance, Socialist Alliance, Campaign to Defend Asylum Seekers, and others.

The meeting resolved to form a Bristol-wide Coalition; to be built as widely as possible, in order to mobilise the thousands in Bristol who do not agree that we must either be with Bush and Blair in their war, or on the side of terrorism.

The meeting spoke of the need to find solutions to the conditions in the Arab and Muslim parts of the world that have driven to people to commit themselves to desperate acts of terrorism, and of the need to counter the "Islamophobia" that has been so much a part of the pro-war rhetoric.

We want to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all the victims of war in the world, and say "An eye for eye makes the whole world blind" - Revenge is not the solution!!
