New York
On Saturday, January 4, thousands of people in some 80 cities and towns across the U.S. rallied and marched in #NoWarOnIran protests. These protests took place a day after the U.S. assassinated a high-ranking Iranian official in Iraq, and as the Trump/Pence regime continues to make aggressive moves and threats against Iran.
In Washington, DC, several hundred people—including actor/activist Jane Fonda—gathered across from the White House and then marched to Trump Hotel. Hundreds rallied at Times Square in New York City and marched through Manhattan streets. A large crowd protested near Trump Tower in Chicago, with some of the protesters marching through the downtown streets and briefly taking over the busy Lake Shore Drive. A local TV news channel reported that “Thousands came to San Francisco Saturday to protest.... They made their way through city streets, holding signs and stopping traffic as they chanted ‘We say no to war.’” Along with the protests in major cities, there were demonstrations in smaller cities and towns like Albuquerque, New Mexico; Ithaca, New York; Fort Wayne, Indiana; and elsewhere.
As the revcom.us statement on the U.S. assassination of the Iranian official says: It is critically important that people in this country oppose this American act of war with mass political action.

You’ve read this article, now think about the crucial role revcom.us plays. White supremacy and fascism are running rampant, and women’s basic rights are being ripped away. America threatens wars on Venezuela and Iran, as it terrorizes immigrant families and wantonly plunders our environment—imperiling humanity’s very future. At revcom.us you learn where these horrors come from, how they can be ended through an actual revolution, and how people are working now toward revolution. You can find, engage and spread the work of Bob Avakian, the leader of this revolution, the architect of the new communism, and author of a concrete blueprint for a new society moving toward full emancipation. So become part of fighting for humanity’s future: sustain or donate now.
