DESCRIPTION:Rally and March: NO! TO U.S. WARS AT HOME & ABROAD @ Lake Merritt 
 amphitheater\nApr 15 @ 11:00 am – 12:30 pm\nJoin us to rally and march to 
 end wars at home and abroad.\nGather at 11 AM at the Lake Merritt 
 Amphitheater\nRally at 11:30 AM\nMarch to Oscar Grant Plaza at 12:30 
 PM\nRally at Oscar Grant Plaza amphitheater, 14th and Broadway at 1:30 
 PM\n\n\nSpeakers and program TBD\n\n– End U.S. overt and covert wars, 
 drone wars, sanction/embargo wars, and death squad assassination 
 wars.\n\n— Close all U.S. bases on foreign soil. Dismantle all nuclear 
 weapons.\n\n— Bring all U.S. troops home now. Self-determination not 
 military intervention. U.S. hands off the Middle East, Africa, Asia and 
 Latin America. End U.S. aid to apartheid Israel. Self-determination for 
 Palestine. The U.S. cannot be the cop of the world.\n\n– $Trillions for 
 human needs. For jobs and social services, quality debt-free education and 
 single payer health care. No to anti-union legislation. For $15 and a Union 
 Now.\n\n– Defend the environment against life-threatening fossil 
 fuel-induced global warming. For a rapid transition to a 100 percent clean, 
 sustainable energy system and retraining and jobs at union wages for all 
 displaced energy workers.\n\n— No to white supremacy and racist policies 
 and actions against Muslims, immigrants, people of color, and indigenous 
 peoples. No to police brutality/murder. End racist mass incarceration. 
 Black Lives Matter!\n\n— No human being is illegal. No to deportations. 
 Yes to DACA and TPS (Temporary Protective Status) and a just and early path 
 to citizenship. No ban, no wall!\n\n– No to sexism, sexual violence, and 
 harassment and targeting of LGBTQI communities. Yes to equal work and pay. 
 Support women’s reproductive rights.\n\nThe U.S. government and its 
 leading Pentagon generals openly and repeatedly threaten nuclear war or 
 massive military intervention against sovereign nations. Such is the case 
 today with North Korea, Iran and Venezuela. Simultaneously, U.S. military 
 forces are at war in several nations including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, 
 Yemen, Sudan, Libya and Somalia. Haiti and Honduras also face covert and 
 ongoing U.S. intervention.\n\nMore than 800 U.S. military bases circle the 
 globe in more than 170 countries at the cost of $trillions, while these 
 same $trillions are subtracted from critical social programs at home. 
 $Trillions in tax cuts and corporate bailouts are granted to the super rich 
 while the war at home takes on virulent racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, 
 Islamophobic and homophobic forms.\n\nCurrent signers:\nCindy Sheehan,
