11 October 2008
National Hands Off Iraqi Oil Action 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. The Hands Off Iraqi Oil coalition will be taking action on 11 October 2008 to mark the 100-day countdown to Bush and Cheney leaving office. Join our procession through London on Saturday 11 October and help a team of oil law resisters lasso a giant Dick Cheney to keep him away from a barrel of Iraq’s oil. There will be a samba band banging (oil) drums and corporate pirates too! Click click here to download the flyer. Visit www.handsoffiraqioil.org to find out more about the issue, order leaflets and participate in our speaker tour.
