On July 2 Celebrate Independence FROM the U.S. Military in Yorkshire

Details here.

Recommendation from David Swanson, Executive Director of World BEYOND War: 

I took part in this annual event in Yorkshire, England, eight years ago and recommend it to every community on Earth with a U.S. military base in it.

Use the date (on or about July 4) when the United States is celebrating “independence” to demand a little of it.

Did you see this headline? “Three in four Australians believe US ties increase chance of war involvement in Asia, poll shows.”

Yes, but 100 in 100 Australian governments grovel before Washington.

The occupied world needs independence demands, and these folks are showing the way:
