Submitted to the Peoples Movement Assembly, Sunday July 1, 2007

United by our struggle for justice, peace, self-determination of peoples
and ecological sustainability, the participants in the 1st US Social Forum
join the growing world-wide call for the total abolition of all foreign
military bases and all other infrastructure used for wars of aggression,
including military operations, maneuvers, trainings, exercises, agreements,
weapons in space, military laboratories and other forms of military
interventions.

Specifically, we call for the dismantling of the more than 700 bases and
installations maintained by the United States military found on every
continent of the world. As outposts of empire, these bases are often the
front line of U.S. military aggression and domination.

We demand an end to both the construction of new bases and the
reinforcement of existing bases; an end to and cleanup of environmental
contamination; an end to legal immunity and other privileges of foreign
military personnel. We demand integral restoration and full and just
compensation for social and environmental damages caused by these bases.

The United States-led illegal invasions and ongoing occupations of Iraq and
Afghanistan were launched from and enabled by such bases. We call for the
immediate withdrawal of all foreign troops from these lands and reject any
planned attack against Iran.

We support and stand in solidarity with those who struggle for the
abolition of all foreign military bases worldwide. The communities directly
effected by the presence of these bases must have a direct role in the
process of closing them down and making sure they are cleaned up.
