"It’s a very serious analytic error to say, as is commonly done, that terrorism is the weapon of the weak. Like other means of violence, it’s primarily a weapon of the strong, overwhelmingly, in fact. It is held to be a weapon of the weak because the strong also control the doctrinal systems and their terror doesn’t count as terror." -- Noam Chomsky

• Help ban nuclear weapons and naval nuclear reactors from the Strait of Georgia
• Take action to stop the killing in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yugoslavia, Palestine

Take action against the killing

• Organize or participate in a demonstration.  Attend your local Peace Group's  meetings or start a local group.  We need more people involved, whether as planners or participants. To get involved with these efforts or learn upcoming protest dates, contact the Sunshine Coast Peace Group. [885-4353]

 
• Spread the word through direct action. Those who oppose the status quo's military answer to everything tend to operate on small budgets, so we need to demonstrate our opposition by any peaceful means available. Use creative methods and tools to decorate your neighborhood with anti-war slogans and images of aggression's real face.
