MARCH 20, 2004
GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION
on the FIRST ANNIVERSARY
of the U.S. BOMBING and INVASION of IRAQ
* BRING the TROOPS HOME NOW!
* END the OCCUPATION of IRAQ!
* MONEY for JOBS, EDUCATION, HEALTHCARE and HOUSING - NOT
WAR!
On March 20, 2004, protests will take place all around the
world on the one year anniversary of the U.S. bombing and
invasion of Iraq. People are organizing on a global scale
to demand an end to the occupation of Iraq and an
immediate withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the
country.
Since the invasion began, hundreds of U.S. and British
soldiers and unknown thousands of Iraqi people have been
killed. The Iraqi people have clearly stated that
occupation is not liberation that they want the foreign
soldiers occupying their country to leave not tomorrow,
but today. Growing numbers of U.S. soldiers and their
families are calling to bring the troops home now.
Increasing numbers of people in the United States are
helping to build a movement against the occupation as they
fight cuts to education, healthcare, job programs, housing
and other social service programs.
On October 25, 100,000 people took to the streets of
Washington DC to call for an immediate end to the
occupation and to bring the troops home now. Tens of
thousands more demonstrated in San Francisco and other
U.S. cities, and in cities around the world. On that day,
the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition began to circulate in the U.S.
the international call for demonstrations on March 20 that
has being made by groups around the world. We urge all
groups and organizations in the US to support this
international call and to work together to show the power
of a united movement on a global scale.
Begin planning now to hold a demonstration in your city on
March 20, 2004. Hundreds of cities around the world will
be issuing, circulating and joining this call.
We will have flyers, stickers and other organizing
material available in the coming days.
