A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition: March 18-20 Global Days of Action

From the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition


Starting next weekend and lasting over the duration of the next two months there will be an intense level of mass anti-war and anti-imperialist organizing and mobilization. We hope everyone will join the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition and other anti-war groups in building mass opposition to the government's War for Empire.

Iraq is at the center of many of these mobilizations but so is the threatened aggression and intervention against Iran, Venezuela, Haiti, North Korea, Cuba and the Philippines. In Palestine the U.S. and Israeli authorities are trying to starve the people in retaliation for having democratically voted for candidates that don't meet their approval.

This is a critical juncture for the anti-war movement. The Bush government is discredited. Its approval rating is in the basement because the people have turned against the war and are disgusted with the criminal neglect in the wake of the hurricanes. People are outraged by the administration's attempts to eviscerate civil rights and civil liberties, and its exposed domestic spying operations. Yet the Democrats continue to vote for every allocation to sustain the criminal war in the Middle East, provide no resistance to Bush's attack on the Bill of Rights - including the reauthorization of the repressive Patriot Act. The Democrats are likewise culpable for turning their backs on working class communities in crisis at home.

The hope for the future is to build a new radical peoples' movement. That is how we won union rights, civil rights, women's rights -- all the social achievements that are being targeted for destruction. This is the only real road to peace as well.

Thousands of people are active as volunteers and activists, others help by making a donation. Some do both. This is a peoples movement and we are getting stronger but we urge everyone to redouble their commitment and involvement.

Please donate to help support all of these activities. For nearly five years the ANSWER Coalition has been organizing day in and day out against Bush's endless war but we can't do it without your help. Please make as generous donation as you can today by clicking here.
..

As Bush's approval ratings drop to 30%, as the anti-war position has become the majority sentiment, and as the other ruling party, the Democratic party fumbles to be a weak shadow of the Republicans, it is up to the people to forge the political direction of this country.
