Do you object to the war in Iraq?

It doesn’t matter what your reasons are for objecting – just that you do. If so, then please read on. Just a strip of white fabric, worn around the arm – no cost, no time – just your opinion, worn publicly is all we are asking for.

Our aim is to unite all anti-war/peace groups, politicians, musicians, artists and individuals who object to the war in Iraq - in one highly visible, unified mass that can be seen at all times, in all places around the world.

We established ARMS AGAINST WAR as a way of protesting and recognising other protesters, from any group, as being of the same intent - an end to the war in Iraq. Politicians and electoral candidates too can wear this symbol so that voters will clearly see what they stand for.

We wear a simple piece of any scrap of white fabric around our arms - at marches, in photos, in court, on TV, during speeches, at signings etc. This is NOT an arrestable offence as there are no words, it costs nothing, it is instant, it is constant and it is worldwide. Please consider sharing or adopting this symbol so that the world of objectors can begin to be seen - everywhere.

I would also add that the action of putting on the armband is an act of self empowerment that lifts me from impotent and powerless, to a point of activism, it is a small gesture, but by this simple act, I am no longer still and silent. Thank you for taking the time to read this and I wish us all success - we need it and...we need you. - Tina Louise

Imagine seeing all politicians who object to the war, standing by their beliefs and wearing an armband...imagine celebrities, group, protesters, marchers, students, individuals and all who agree "I want an end to the war in Iraq", showing this by wearing a simple white armband, being seen, starting conversations, encouraging discussion and above all else - showing unity of purpose and solidarity with all who want the same.

Two thousand years ago, a Roman Senator suggested that all slaves
wear white armbands to better identify them. 
"No," said a wiser Senator. 
"If they see how many of them there are, they may revolt."
