Why we’re saying NO TO NATO on Saturday 19 May

Why we’re protesting in London and Chicago

On May 20/21, Barack Obama will host the 25th summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) in Chicago.

The United States and Britain are the lynchpins of the NATO coalition and responsible for more wars of agression around the world than any other powers.

United National Antiwar Coalition (US) and Stop the War Coalition (UK) will therefore be holding major protests in Chicago and London to say no to a new war on Iran; to oppose the threat of intervention in Syria; and to call for the immediate withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan.
