THE PANDEMIC is not over – and as countries struggle to cope with the situation at home, there are worrying signs that the US, and perhaps some allies, may respond to the pressure with bellicose statements.

The Stop the War Coalition has responded by organising two events to help build the pressure against war – and to contribute to the growing grassroots movement for peace, justice and equality.
