Subject: [WW] Sept. 29: Say no to racism & war!
*A Message from the International Action Center*
On September 29 we had planned to demonstrate against
the Bush administration's reactionary foreign and domestic
policy and the IMF and World Bank. In light of the current
crisis, with its tragic consequences for so many thousands
of people, we have refocused the call for our demonstration
to address the immediate danger posed by racism and the
grave threat of a new war.
All those who oppose racism should stand shoulder to
shoulder with our sisters and brothers in the Arab, Muslim
and other communities of color who are the victims of
violence, scapegoating, harassment and intimidation in a
racist frenzy that's being created throughout the United
States. We call on all people-Black, Latino, Asian, Arab,
Native and white-to stand together and say no to racism. We
urge all organizations to join together at this critical
time.
***************
CALL TO ACTION
National March in Washington DC
September 29
Tell George Bush:
WE SAY NO TO RACISM AND WAR!
We demand that the government spend billions to rebuild New
York City and compensate the victims of the September 11
bombing and their families, many of whom have lost not only
loved ones, but also jobs, homes and health care - not for a
new war against the people in the Middle East or elsewhere!
Now is the time for all people of conscience, all people who
oppose racism and war to come together. The government is
attempting to take away our civil liberties and to create a
climate in which it is impossible for progressive people to
speak their mind. The Bush administration is attempting to
take advantage of this crisis to militarize U.S. society
with a vast expansion of police powers that is intended to
severely restrict basic democratic rights. If you believe
in civil liberties and oppose racism and war, join us on
September 29 in front of the White House.
MARCH AND RALLY
Saturday, September 29, 11 a.m.
In front of the White House
