Saturday 6 May: International Day of Action

Saturday 6 May is an international day of action against an attack on Iran. As Seymour Hersh reported recently, the countdown to an attack on Iran has started. The Pentagon is considering the use of tactical nuclear weapons against Iran's nuclear processing centres.

Don't Attack Iran demonstrations are being planned across Britain. We are asking every anti-war group to organise lunchtime protests on 6 May in the centre of towns and cities. We suggest die ins as part of the protests co-ordinated to take place at 2pm across the country.

All-London May 6 protest 1.00pm
Peace Gardens, Friends Meeting House, Euston Road, WC1(Note change of venue)
Speakers include: Bruce Kent (CND) and Tony Benn
