A-Infos (en) US×, First of May Anarchist Alliance: Support the Middle East and North African Solidarity Network

This project has been endorsed by the First of May Anarchist Alliance. Late last year we 
published a discussion document on the revolution and war in Syria. ---- About ---- The 
MENA Solidarity Network-US promotes awareness of, and support for, the ongoing wave of 
mass revolutionary struggles in the Middle East and North Africaâpopularly known as the 
Arab Revolutions. ---- Description ---- The MENA Solidarity Network-US promotes awareness 
of, and support for, the ongoing wave of mass revolutionary struggles in the Middle East 
and North Africa-Âpopularly known as the Arab Revolutions. ---- We were founded by groups 
and individuals from the left and workersâ movements who recognized the need to oppose 
Western imperialist threats to attack Syria while also continuing to defend Syriaâs 
popular revolution against the Assad dictatorship and its allies. We thus oppose all forms 
of imperialist intervention in the region while supporting popular struggles against all 
who would deny democratic rights or enforce economic exploitation. By the same token, we 
oppose all forms of Zionist expropriation of land and resources, apartheid and repression, 
while supporting Palestinian refugeesâ right of return.

We are committed to the principle of international solidarity from below, which supports 
the struggles of the oppressed against their oppressors in all of Tunisia, Egypt, Libya, 
Yemen, Palestine, Syria, Bahrain, and other countries. We cannot, as people of conscience, 
ignore the call for âFreedom, Dignity, and Social Justiceâ coming from revolutionaries 
throughout the region.

We defend the rights of all people to practice, or not practice, any religious faith of 
their choosing. Based in the United States, we see a particular responsibility to defend 
Muslims from Islamophobic vilification and discrimination.

We highlight and applaud the role of women in the revolutions, and support their full 
rights and equal participation in society and in the revolutionary process.

And we pay particular attention to the struggles of workers and poor people, defending 
their rights and drawing attention to their struggles.

We call upon all groups and people who agree with us to sign onto our statement and join 
our network to oppose US intervention and help build solidarity with our brothers and 
sisters struggling for freedom and justice in the Middle East and North Africa.
