World Can’t Wait was formed in 2005 to organize people living in the United States to take responsibility to stop the whole disastrous course led by the Bush administration. We sought to create a political situation where the Bush administration’s program was repudiated, where Bush himself would be driven from office and where the whole direction he has taken U.S. society would be reversed. We sought and still seek to mobilize millions to express their outrage, to speak the truth, to act with urgency in an organized political way. To this end, we mobilized people to demonstrate; ran full-page ads in The New York Times and other national and local newspapers; developed our website which is updated daily (www.worldcantwait.org); presented forums and teach-ins; produced materials such as DVDs, T-shirts, buttons, bandanas and posters; conducted speaking tours; gave interviews to the press; etc.
At a national conference of World Can’t Wait held in November 2008, we decided to persevere in bringing forth a movement to create real change by organizing people to take independent political action. We need a force that won’t give up on putting the whole picture together. We can’t passively wait; the crimes committed under the Bush regime must not be allowed to continue or go unprosecuted.
