Sign the Letter

"That which you do not resist and mobilize to stop you will learn – or be forced – to accept.”

To the Anti-War Movement in the United States:

Barack Obama is sending a surge of 20,000 troops to Afghanistan.

An antiwar movement that does not move immediately to oppose the Obama doctrine of shifting the central front of the war on terror to Afghanistan, no longer deserves to be called an anti-war movement. read more...

Reports of March 19th Actions

From the Director

Debra Sweet

Mission Statement

The World Can’t Wait organizes people living in the United States to repudiate and stop the fascist direction initiated by the Bush Regime, including: the murderous, unjust and illegitimate occupations of Iraq and Afghanistan; the global “war of terror” of torture, rendition and spying; and the culture of bigotry, intolerance and greed. This direction cannot and will not be reversed by leaders who tell us to seek common ground with fascists, religious fanatics, and empire. It can only be possible by the people building a community of resistance - an independent mass movement of people - acting in the interests of humanity to stop, and demand prosecution, of these crimes.

A Time for New Beginnings: Taking on the Christian Fascists in Houston

Tuesday, 19 January 2010 08:40

By Jamilah Hoffman

On January 18th, a group of anti-abortion religious fundamentalists came to Houston to protest at a new Planned Parenthood facility. These people call Planned Parenthood’s new Houston location an “abortion super center” because of its 78,000 square feet, and they call the location of the building itself racist because it is situated near Black and Chicano neighborhoods.

They claim that Planned Parenthood chose this location to target neighborhoods of the oppressed for abortions. Their agenda is to enslave women. Those of us who support a woman’s right to choose, who stand in opposition to the oppression of women, came out in support of abortion rights and Planned Parenthood.

Protesting Pelosi in Houston, and Looking at the Bigger Picture

Tuesday, 16 June 2009 07:28

By Jamilah Hoffman

On Friday, June 12, Nancy Pelosi spoke in Houston at an event sponsored a group called the “Progressive Forum”. The Progressive Forum Houston is a mainstream organization that presents speakers who are supposed to bring political and cultural voices that enrich, “our democracy and culture by presenting the great minds we believe are advancing the success of the individual, our species, and life on the planet.”

Since Pelosi has gone along with Bush's program on war and torture, and now Obama's continuation of Bush's program, some people in the anti war and movement called for protests. Some people associated with both World Can’t Wait and Revolution newspaper also went. But as I walked to where the event was being held, I saw a lot of American flags. I know that there are so-called progressives who wave the flag, but even this was too many for them. I realized that we were walking into an angry batch of reactionaries and extremists.
