You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.201.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 23:54, 31 July 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''Anti-War Committee (AWC)''' is a grassroots political organization based in [[Minneapolis]], [[Minnesota]] that wants to end U.S. intervention.((Dubious|date=March 2016))

==Organizational history==
((POV section|date=March 2016))
The Anti-War Committee began in December 1998, with 13 people who committed [[civil disobedience]] to protest the bombing of [[Iraq]]. The Anti-War Committee grew out of the Twin Cities chapter of the [[Committee in Solidarity with the People of El Salvador]] (CISPES), which had been active since the early 1980s.((fact|date=November 2023))

==Mission and focus==
The mission of the Anti-War Committee is to organize a broad-based movement which stands in solidarity with those communities, here and abroad who are adversely affected by U.S. foreign policies. Its members believe that the U.S. government has no right to intervene, militarily, economically or politically, in the affairs of independent nations. The Anti-War Committee calls for immediate withdrawal of all coalition troops from Iraq and Afghanistan, and has collaborated with other groups to organize protests toward that goal.((fact|date=November 2023)) 

The Anti-War Committee was the first organization to apply for permits and announce plans to protest at the [[2008 Republican National Convention]], which was held in [[Saint Paul, Minnesota|St. Paul]], [[Minnesota]].<ref>[http://www.startribune.com/587/story/814415.html ] ((webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061117070902/http://www.startribune.com/587/story/814415.html |date=November 17, 2006 ))</ref>

On September 24, 2010, the Anti-War Committee's office was raided by the [[FBI]]. Several of its leading members also had their homes raided by the FBI. The Anti-War Committee is being investigated for "[[material support]] for [[terrorism]]". The AWC feels they are being targeted by the FBI for their solidarity work with Palestine and Colombia and were a part of founding the Committee to Stop FBI Repression<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.stopfbi.net |title=Home &#124; Committee to Stop FBI Repression |publisher=Stopfbi.net |date=2011-01-16 |accessdate=2012-10-19))</ref> nationally to defend their right to organize and protest.

==Coalitions and other issues==
The Anti-War Committee participates in the [[Iraq Peace Action Coalition]] (IPAC) now called the Minnesota Peace Action Coalition. The AWC also concerns itself with other issues, such as supporting striking unions, such as during the [[Northwest Airlines]] Mechanics strike in 2005-2006; and participating in the immigrant rights protests of 2006.((fact|date=November 2023))
