On June 26, the Stop War on Iran Campaign issued a call for emergency actions on August 2 to stop the Bush
Administration's drive towards an attack against Iran. In the few days since we've issued the call, responses have been pouring in.
The NSTAR Electric Co. was the focus of an angry picket line July 3 initiated by the Women’s Fightback Network and the youth group
Fight Imperialism, Stand Together.
This greedy corporation, with assets of $7.8 billion, sent 100,000 Massachusetts residents electric and gas utility shutoff notices at the beginning of May.
NSTAR earned $59.2 million in the first quarter of 2008 but was shutting off people owing as little as $100.

others who had worked together against the Gulf War.
