Day of Action - Saturday 11 October

As the Iraqi people continue to suffer under foreign occupation, multinational corporations continue in their efforts to control Iraq’s oil. Before leaving office, the Bush administration is determined to pass an oil law that would hand over Iraq’s oil to companies like Shell and BP for a generation.

In solidarity with Iraq’s oil workers who oppose the law, join the Hands Off Iraqi Oil coalition on 11 October to demand that Iraq’s oil benefit Iraqis, and not multinational corporations. Don’t let Bush and Cheney sell off Iraq's oil for a generation.
