Emergency protest: Don't bomb Iraq, Don't bomb Syria. Lobby your MP
• PROTEST: Downing Street. 5.30pm Thursday 25th September
• LOBBY YOUR MP: Use our model letter to write to your MP. It takes 2 minutes.
David Cameron is planning to recall parliament on Friday to push
through a vote for the UK to join the US in bombing Isis in Iraq and
possibly Syria.
If this vote passes British forces will be back in action in Iraq
just three years after the last troops were withdrawn from the
catastrophic occupation of 2003-11. The development comes in the same
week Tony Blair called for renewed bombing in the region and the
possibility of boots on the ground.
All the experience of the terrible wars in Afghanistan, Iraq and
Libya has shown that western military action only serves to kill
innocents, destroy infrastructure and inflame violence.
Isis is a reactionary force, but it is in part a product of the
disastrous occupation of Iraq by Western powers. Isis is funded by some
of our main allies in the region, including Saudi Arabia. Escalating
Western military intervention will do nothing to stop them but will
create more suffering and further destabilise the region.
Stop the War is calling on its London supporters to protest on
Thursday 25 September evening outside Downing Street from 5.30pm till
7.30pm. (Nearest tubes: Westminster and Charing Cross)
We are asking all our supporters to lobby immediately their MPs to vote against bombing.
