NO IRAQI OIL LAW  INTERNATIONAL DAYS OF ACTION

February 22-23, 2008

Stop the Theft of Iraqs Future Iraqi Oil for the Iraqi People

DC meeting: Mon, Feb 11  at   8:00 pm
to create props, brainstorm street theatre, and more
Oil Change International, 2228 12th PLACE NW, Wash DC 20009
2 blocks from the U Street metro, between W and Florida, and between 12th
and 13 St.  Purple door.
please RSVP if you can to let us know you are coming; you can also call-in
to the meeting with prior arrangement

In Iraq, the on-going war and occupation has led to hundreds of thousands of
Iraqi deaths, widespread devastation, relentless insecurity and crippling
poverty.  Foreign oil companies are scrambling to use this opportunity to
secure access to massive profits from Iraqs large untapped oil reserves at
the expense of the Iraqi people.

The occupation of Iraq serves to protect these interests while US military
bases are built nearby to guard the oil fields.  As well, the Bush
Administration has tried to push the Iraqi Parliament to pass a law that
would give foreign oil companies unprecedented control over Iraqs oil
resources.  The Iraqi cabinet, under pressure from the US, passed this law
one year ago on February 23, 2007.  The Iraqi Parliament has so far resisted
pressure to pass this oil law, but the pressure is by no means over.

The U.S. should have no role in pressuring Iraqis to privatize control of
their oil while occupying their country. The Iraqi people are held in a
military occupation by over 160,000 foreign troops.  We support the Iraqis
in their call for resisting the oil law and foreign contracts while under
occupation

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Join us in solidarity with the people of Iraq by demanding an end to the
military and economic occupation. Make the connection between oil and state
and between profit and war.

Friday, Feb 22 Washington, DC
Noon: press conference at the Exxon Mobile Office in DC, 2000 K St NW
12:30pm: March with us as we mark the oily trail leading to the White House


Saturday, Feb 23 local actions
If you live outside of DC, plan a day of action to mark one-year of Iraqs
resistance to the oil law.   Hold a protest or plan a march from a gas
station to your Congresspersons local office, or host a speakers roundtable
on the oil law.
