LEBANON: WE NEED YOUR HELP URGENTLY
NATIONAL EMERGENCY DEMONSTRATION
SATURDAY 5 AUGUST: ASSEMBLE 12 NOON
SPEAKERS CORNER, HYDE PARK, LONDON
MARCH PASS US EMBASSY AND DOWNING STREET
TO PARLIAMENT SQUARE FOR RALLY
After the Qana massacre, no one can deny what we are witnessing: the systematic destruction of two countries. Everyone who is horrified at what is happening can help to bring this carnage to an end. We need the biggest possible turnout on Saturday’s emergency demonstration. What you do in the next few days can make a difference. Tony Blair is under the most intense pressure on all sides to detach himself from his master George Bush’s catastrophic warmongering and call for an immediate unconditional ceasefire. His party wants him to stop. His cabinet wants him to stop. The vast majority of people in the country want him to stop. Our demonstration can intensify that pressure to breaking point.
Stop the War has not experienced anything like it since the run up to the Iraq war in 2003. Over 1000 people every day are contacting the Stop the War office. They want to be on our mailing list. They want to know what they can do to build Saturday’s emergency demonstration in London. They want to know where to get leaflets, where coaches are arranged to transport people to London. They want to donate to help fund the demonstration.
WE NEED YOUR HELP NOW: WHAT YOU CAN DO:
1 DONATE: We have had the most fantastic response to our emergency financial appeal, from pensioners sending us a few pounds to peers in the House of Lords. But we still need much more to help fund the demonstration and publicise it as widely as we can. Please donate whatever you can big or small.

2 LEAFLET EVERYWHERE: Download the demonstration leaflet from our website and distribute it as widely as you can. Encourage everyone you know to join the demonstration and spread the word among their friends, work colleagues, neighbours etc. Leaflet mosques (we’re getting a phenomenal response), churches, community centres, libraries, tube and bus stations.

If you are in London, get leaflets from the Stop the War office: 020 7278 6694.
3 OUTSIDE LONDON: If you are outside of London, find out about coaches in your area on our website. Get together with friends and book a coach yourselves and get everyone you know to buy a ticket. People who know about the demonstration want to be on it and want to know how to get there. There are dozens of coaches already booked from every corner of Britain. More are being booked every day.
