NATO is the largest military alliance in the world* with the largest
military spending (roughly three-quarters of the world total) and nuclear
stockpiles. While claiming to “preserve peace,” NATO has violated international
law and bombed Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, Serbia, Afghanistan, Pakistan,
and Libya. NATO has exacerbated tensions with Russia and increased the risk of
nuclear apocalypse.
We're going to unwelcome NATO to Washington, D.C., in April, and encourage the
organizing of simultaneous events everywhere. If NATO backs out of this event,
we will go forward with ours as a *celebration of victory*. And we will follow
NATO anywhere it tries to hide.
Plans to include a procession from the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial to a
rally at Freedom Plaza, and nonviolent demonstrations outside the NATO meeting.
War is a leading contributor to the growing global refugee and
climate crises, the basis for the militarization of the police, a top cause of
the erosion of civil liberties, and a catalyst for racism and bigotry. We’re
calling for the abolition of NATO, the promotion of peace, the redirection of
resources to human and environmental needs, and the demilitarization of our
cultures. Instead of celebrating NATO’s 70th anniversary, we’re celebrating
peace on April 4, in commemoration of Martin Luther King Jr.’s speech against
war on April 4, 1967, as well as his assassination on April 4, 1968.
