Anti-NATO protest sparks growing movement


A new generation of activists has grasped the central, repressive role of NATO on a world scale. They will join the protest in Chicago on May 20 against a NATO summit scheduled there. Their involvement in this and further actions will strengthen the movement against U.S./NATO wars of aggression.

In April, a broad layer of churches, peace organizations and labor unions endorsed the May 20 protests. They have also asked for “teach-in” type discussions to learn more about NATO and its role.

Workers World learned of these developments while speaking to some of the anti-war leaders organizing the Chicago protest. The United National Anti-War Coalition and the Coalition Against NATO/G8 War & Poverty Agenda (CANG8) were the first groups to call the protest.

“Something is happening with this protest that is really remarkable. The administration’s decision last year to hold a NATO military summit and a G8 economic summit in Chicago during the same week, even though they later reversed it, educated everyone by linking NATO and G8,” said Joe Iosbaker, a key CANG8 organizer.
