DESCRIPTION:National Day of Action on the 8th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of 
 Iraq\n\nFUND JOBS, HEALTHCARE & EDUCATION, NOT WAR\nStop the Cutbacks & 
 Layoffs! \n\nEND WAR & OCCUPATION\nAfghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Haiti & 
 Everywhere!\n\nSTOP THE WAR ON WORKING PEOPLE\nSolidarity with Local 2 
 Workers!\n\nMarch 19 is the 8th anniversary of the invasion and occupation 
 of Iraq. Today, Iraq remains occupied by 50,000 U.S. soldiers and tens of 
 thousands of foreign mercenaries. \n\nThe war in Afghanistan/Pakistan is 
 raging. Washington is financing Israel’s colonial occupation of 
 Palestine, threatening Iran, stepping up hostility against Venezuela, Cuba 
 and other progressive governments in Latin America, and bringing Korea to 
 the brink of a new war. There are more than 800 U.S. military bases around 
 the world.\n\nWhile the U.S. will spend $1 trillion+ for war and occupation 
 in 2011, 30 million people in the U.S. remain unemployed or severely 
 underemployed, and cuts in education, housing and healthcare are imposing a 
 huge toll on the people. \n\nNow, new rounds of cutbacks in vital public 
 services and jobs are underway at the federal, state and local level. 
 Public and private sector unions are under severe attack.\n\n12,000 SF 
 hotel workers, members of UNITE HERE Local 2, have been fighting for 17 
 months for a new contract that protects their healthcare, wages and working 
 conditions. On March 19, we will march to boycotted hotels in solidarity 
 with the Lo. 2 workers.\n\nEndorsers include: ANSWER Coalition, US Labor
