- PLEASE FORWARD -
STOP RACISM & IMPERIALIST WAR!
U.S. NAVY OUT OF VIEQUES & ALL OF PUERTO RICO!
U.S. MILITARY OUT OF THE PHILIPPINES!
U.S. HANDS OFF THE PEOPLE'S DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF KOREA! SELF-DETERMINATION FOR ALL ASIAN PEOPLES!
The Vieques Support Campaign urges everyone to support the event advertised on this e-mail message shown below. The more than a century of the Puerto Rican experience under U.S. control, which began with military invasion, verifies what are the motives of U.S. rulers who are now sounding the call for all out war: outright colonial domination.
The war on Iraq is but a stepping stone for U.S. war ambitions throughout the world. From Iraq to the Philippines & Korea - From Puerto Rico to the poor and oppressed communities of the U.S. - the people united can never be defeated!

Manhattan, New York City
While U.S./British armed forces are assembling a massive force to invade and "liberate" Iraq, the Pentagon is quietly opening a "second front" in the Pacific. This community forum will discuss the U.S.'s recent war moves in East Asia: At the same time as 3,000 heavily armed Special Forces and Marines are landing in the southern Philippines for counter-insurgency operations, a large force of U.S. warships, planes and weapons of mass destruction are massing to threaten the People's Democratic Republic of Korea (north Korea).
This forum will explore American claims that it is exporting "democracy" abroad, and contrast these claims to the lived reality of decades of U.S. military occupation and domination. The vibrant resistance struggles waged by the Korean and Filipino peoples - past and present day - will be highlighted.
We hope that participants will emerge from this forum with a greater understanding of these popular struggles in Korea and the Philippines, and how they are connected to other liberation struggles around the world. In addition, we will discuss ways that people in NYC can get more involved in people-to-people solidarity work.
Presenters will include past participants of Korea Exposure and Education Program (KEEP), sponsored by Nodutdol (NYC) and Mindullae (L.A.). Members of NISPOP's Reality Tour and the International Solidarity Mission to the Southern Philippines (ISM) in the summer of 2002 will also present at this forum.
Performances will be in English, Korean, and Tagalog.
There will be a question & answer session afterwards.
This event is free to the public. Donations welcomed.
Light Korean and Filipino refreshments will be served afterwards.
This event is part of 1953-2003 Armistice to Peace Treaty in Korea campaign and the Justice not War in the Philippines campaign. It is a joint production of the Network in Solidarity with the People of the Philippines (www.nispop.org) and Nodutdol for Korean Community Development (www.nodutdol.com).
This event is free to the public. Donations welcome. Light Korean and Filipino refreshments will be served afterwards. We invite all groups and organizations to endorse this event.
