DESCRIPTION:Coinciding with the 20th anniversary weekend of the criminal U.S.-invasion 
 of Iraq, the ANSWER Coalition and dozens of other organizations will gather 
 on Saturday March 18 at the 24th & Mission BART, SF for a rally demanding 
 "Peace in Ukraine – Say NO to Endless U.S. Wars” and “Fund People's 
 Needs, Not the War Machine.”\n\nSince 2003, the U.S. has engaged in 
 sanctions (economic war) on more than 40 countries. Even in the wake of the 
 worst disasters, like the recent deadly earthquake, Washington keeps its 
 cruel sanctions in place against Syria.\n\nU.S. bases and “commands” 
 blanket most of the world. It is a global empire.\n\nThe Biden 
 administration is determined to escalate the Ukraine war. The real goal of 
 the massive arming and training of Ukrainian forces has nothing to do with 
 the interests of Ukrainian, Russian or American people. The aim instead is 
 to “weaken Russia” as stated by the U.S. Secretary of Defense himself, 
 even at the risk of a catastrophic nuclear war that could end life on 
 Earth.\n\nA U.S. General commanding 50,000 troops in the Pacific also 
 issued a letter to his sub-commanders in recent days informing them that he 
 believes that the United States will be at war with China within two years. 
 The danger of global war is growing! The people must act!\n\nOur 
 demands:\n\n    Peace in Ukraine - Negotiations not escalation!\n    
 Abolish NATO - End U.S. militarism and sanctions\n    Fund peoples needs, 
 not the war machine\n    No war with China\n    End U.S. aid to racist 
 aparthaid Israel\n    Fight racism and bigotry at home\n    U.S. hands off 
 Haiti\n    End AFRICOM\n\nEndorsers:\n\n    ANSWER(Act Now to Stop War & 
 End Racism) Coalition\n    The People's Forum\n    Code Pink\n    Veterans 
 for Peace\n    Black Alliance for Peace\n    Palestinian Youth Movement\n   
  East Bay Democratic Socialists of America\n    Arab Resource and 
 Organizing Center\n    United National Antiwar Coalition\n    Peace and 
 Freedom Party\n    Human Rights Working Group of the First Unitarian Church 
 of SF\n    Workers World Party\n    Cuba & Venezuela Solidarity Comm.\n
