Financial Appeal...getting ready for 2009
Millions of people around the globe celebrated when Barack Obama won the US presidential elections, marking the end of the George Bush Presidency. This does not mean war is over.
Obama is already under pressure from military leaders to back down on his commitment to withdraw from Iraq and he wants to escalate the war in Afghanistan. Our work is not over.
We may have seen the last of Bush, but we have to make sure his war policies go with him.
This means a continued campaign against our own warmongers.
The Stop the War Coalition must remain as active as ever. In the New Year we will be organising rallies on Afghanistan and are mobilising for a massive demonstration at the NATO conference in Strasbourg in April.
None of this will be possible without your support and your money. We are launching a countdown appeal to the inauguration of Obama. On the day he takes office we want to have raised £10,000.
Celebrate the end of the Bush years and/or commit yourself to the continued struggle with a donation.

 Thursday 20 November marks 7 years since the so called liberation of Afghanistan by the US and its allies. In that time thousands of innocent Afghan civilians have been killed and many more wounded, as the security situation goes from bad to worse. Stop the War groups across the country will be protesting on that day to say that troops should be brought home from Afghanistan. If you would like to organise a protest in your area contact us today.

 Today a new BBC poll reveals that 68% of people in Britain want to see British troops withdrawn from Afghanistan.
The poll is published as news comes through that two more Royal Marines have been killed in Afghanistan. These deaths alongside the deaths of thousands of Afghanis killed in this war are not only tragic but unnecessary.
It has been acknowledged by senior diplomatic and military figures that
the war in Afghanistan in unwinnable and that there will be
negotiations with the Taliban.
