Help us get the word out!

Last weekend one million people marched against Australia joining the US war against the Iraqi people. An unprecedented movement has taken over the stage of Australian politics.

If it can keep its resolve and maintain its momentum, this movement will force a change of policy or a crisis of government. We have an opportunity to be much more than a pressure group. We are a movement that can help stop the war on Iraq.

The anti-war movement needs to consolidate what we achieved last weekend. This means building the activist base of the movement. The movement needs thousands of informed activists — who can actively inform and organise their friends, workmates and local communities.

91×ÔÅÄÂÛ̳ Weekly has been doing this job in every major population centre of Australia, and now increasingly throughout rural Australia. In the days leading up to last weekend's protests, GLW distributors organised hundreds of community stalls in every corner of Australia, with 15,000 copies of GLW being distributed (tens of thousands also viewed it on the web).

Many subscribers, who previously received only their own copy of GLW, decided to take bundles and distribute copies of the paper to others in their suburbs or towns. Hundreds of copies of GLW were distributed in regional centres like Mackay, St Helens, Davenport, Byron Bay, Cairns, Toowoomba and other regional towns throughout Australia.

Every subscriber and supporter of GLW can become a writer and distributor — an activist for the anti-war movement.

You can ensure that people in your town or suburb know what is going on — the issues behind the war drive, the machinations of the governments and the anti-war struggles of people in every corner of the globe and every suburb of Australia.

By distributing GLW, you can contribute to exposing the lies peddled by the mainstream media and revealing the truths they deny or ignore.

By distributing GLW, you can help build the anti-war movement — in your street, your workplace, at your local shopping centre, high school, sporting club, or anywhere else where people live, work or play.
