Troops Home Now from Iraq and Afghanistan!
End the Blockade of Gaza and All U.S. Aid to Israel!
Money for Jobs and Education-- Not for War and Occupation!
Occupation is a Crime from Iraq to Afghanistan to Palestine!
The massacre of Palestinians and the continued blockade of Gaza remind all that the war machine has ushered in a new year of wars and occupations. Coalitions, organizations, and networks are joining together throughout the country to organize a mass march on the Pentagon, marking six years of war and occupation of Iraq. Demonstrations will also be held in San Francisco and other cities. These actions will demonstrate that the antiwar movement is visible, determined, and committed to intensifying the struggle until the last soldier is brought home. The actions are needed to assure the people of Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and other countries threatened by Washington's expansionist policies that tens of millions of people in this country support their right to settle their own destinies without U.S. interventions, occupations and murderous wars. The voice of the antiwar movement is making a difference and will be heard again on March 21, 2009.
