In solidarity with the Coalition of Resistance in Europe, we in the United States stand shoulder-to-shoulder prepared to nonviolently resist an agenda already more advanced on our own shores.

The failed policies of the politicians and the bankers caused the financial crisis. Spending cuts on peaceful programs, in combination with outrageous military spending, are driving us into poverty. An economic alternative is essential to protect ordinary people, and to save and expand healthcare, retirement, and other human-needs programs.

We call on the forces and individuals who share these ideas to merge as soon as possible into a broad coalition, to create a transitional program, and to coordinate our international actions in order to mobilize the forces of a powerful public movement.
