"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...

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.

ELAINE BROWER is the mother of a Marine recently returned from Fallujah. She is an activist against the war with World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime and Military Families Speak Out.

Elaine's story and interviews have appeared in the NY Daily News, NY Newsday, NY Times, and she has appeared on Good Morning America, Montel Williams Show, NBC Nightly News, NY1, NOVA TV from the Netherlands, TV Asahi from Tokyo, and numerous radio programs nationwide.

 Anastasia Gomes is a 22 year-old native New Yorker, born to Greek and Indian immigrants. A prolific writer and avid reader all her life, Anastasia studied journalism in hopes of bettering the world by shedding light on its injustices. Through her school's study abroad program Anastasia traveled to India to research the media's effect on the developing world's social identity. Her passion for human rights has found an outlet with the World Can't Wait where she was given the chance to actually help change the problems that she had always been disturbed by, but in the past, had felt helpless in the face of. Today she utilizes her journalism skills with the World Can't Wait's National Press team, informing others who also feel isolated in their frustration over issues like the war. She currently teaches English to Latin American immigrants in the Bronx and also works as a professional freelance photographer. At the top of the long list of people she says have made the biggest impact on her are; Ghandi, Susan Sontag, Noam Chomsky and Rachel Corrie.

 Leah Fishbein is a visual arts student at Occidental College in Los Angeles.  Born and raised in the heart of Atlanta, GA, she is currently transitioning to the pace of the west coast, throwing herself into her studio art and history studies.  She is sticking with the academic world with the sole goal of becoming even more of a person who contributes to changing the world in radical ways in the future.  21, outspoken and outgoing, Leah is an active student organizer with World Can't Wait in LA.  Instead of taking up the usual internship last summer, she spent the break volunteering in the World Can't Wait national office in NYC, and continues to write regularly for
worldcantwait.org.

She got her start at a powerful demonstration against the invasion of Iraq at the burial place of MLK, Jr., before the US attacks began, and was, only weeks later, quickly moving to lead high school and college student walkouts, organize at high schools in protest against the war all over the metro area, and learn -- A LOT -- about how the world works and about the United States' role in shaping history.

Several years later, as the Bush regime and the Christian right turned up their attacks on women's reproductive rights in unprecedented ways, Leah delved into fighting to increase resistance to these attacks, at colleges and universities and in general across the country, through street theater, writing, and other forms.  She is especially invested in addressing this area of the Bush Regime's program, as it means much for the future of U.S. society.
