The 6th Anniversary of the U.S. Invasion of Iraq

Mass Actions on the 6th Anniversary of the Iraq War -- March 21, 2009

Marking the sixth anniversary of the criminal invasion of Iraq, thousands will take to the streets of Washington D.C. and other cities across the U.S. and around the world in March 2009 to say, Bring the Troops Home NOW! We will also demand End Colonial Occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and Everywhere, and Fund Peoples Needs Not Militarism and Bank Bailouts. We also insist on an end to the war threats and economic sanctions against Iran.

The ANSWER Coalition (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) is organizing for unified mass marches and rallies in Washington DC, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Miami and other cities on Saturday, March 21, 2009. Months ago we obtained permits for sixth anniversary demonstrations. ANSWER has been actively involved with other coalitions, organizations, and networks to organize unified anti-war demonstrations in the spring of 2009. ANSWER participated in the National Assembly to End the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars and Occupations that was held in Cleveland, Ohio on June 28th-29th and attended by 450 people, including many national and local anti-war coalitions. The National Assembly gathering agreed to promote national, unified anti-war demonstrations in the Spring of 2009.

Chicago city-wide protest on the 6th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq! Each year since 2003 a who's who of Chicago activist organizations and individuals has joined together to resist the ridiculous national priorities of our government, which promotes endless wars abroad while curbing civil rights at home and robbing us of needed social services while giving gifts to the rich. This year's citywide march will be in the Pilsen neighborhood. Exact date, time and location information forthcoming shortly. For more information, email CCAWR@aol.com
