A.N.S.W.E.R.'s response to Bush's State of the Union address: COORDINATED PROTESTS SET in 100+ CITIES--JAN. 29 Emergency Response to February 5 declaration of war
- Message from the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition on the State of the Union -
It is clear from George Bush's "war speech" (a.k.a. the State of the Union address) that February 5 has been selected as the "go date" for a declaration of war against Iraq. Thousands of people have expressed their intentions to descend on the White House in Washington DC the Saturday after the U.S government begins laying siege to Iraq. The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition is preparing for an emergency response mobilization. On January 29, thousands of people in more than 100 cities will answer the call issued by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition to demonstrate their opposition to Bush's plans for war.
On February 15, millions of people in Europe will take to the streets with the same message and they have asked the people of the U.S. to join in a display of international solidarity. There will be mass actions in New York City and Chicago on February 15, in San Francisco on February 16, and in hundreds of other cities that weekend.
A listing of January 29 protests can be found at the website of the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition at http://www.internationalanswer.org/campaigns/j29/j29events.html
