Frente Antiimperialista Internacionalista launched a campaign
On the 4th of April, NATO will celebrate the 70th anniversary of its creation. Always publicised as the best means of preserving peace and security in the world, its trajectory as an instrument of aggression against the sovereignty of peoples and nations resisting the dispossession of central powers has only grown. In these times of acute terminal crisis of capitalism, is bringing destruction and disorder to increasingly extensive areas and putting the entire planet on the verge of ecological or nuclear destruction.

On April 4 2019, Trump will gather the leaders of the NATO countries to Washington, DC to “celebrate” the 70<sup>th</sup> anniversary of NATO. April 4 is also the date of the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., exactly one year after his famous antiwar speech at Riverside Church in New York City.
