DESCRIPTION:March 19, 2005, Global Day of Action  on the 2nd annivesary of the invasion 
  Beat Back the Bush Attack!  U.S. Troops Out of Iraq!  No to War & 
 Occupation — Iraq, Palestine, Haiti, Afghanistan, Iran, Korea, Cuba & 
 Everywhere!  People's Needs, Not pentagon Greed!  Stop Budget Cuts - Save 
 Social Security!  San Francisco: March Assembles: 11 a.m. Dolores Park  
 Rally: 1 p.m. Civic Center  The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition in the United States 
 issued a call in early October to mobilize for the March 19 Global Day of 
 Mass Action. This is the second anniversary of Bush's criminal aggression 
 against the people of Iraq. More than 100,000 Iraqis have died, and yet the 
 resistance to occupation by the Iraqi people has not been stifled through 
 the resort to high tech massacres. U.S. soldiers are being killed and 
 maimed in a war for conquest. In these ways Iraq parallels the U.S. war 
 against Vietnam. While the U.S. government is spending billions to kill in 
 Iraq, Palestine and Haiti, it is destroying social programs and working 
 peoples' Social Security. At the same time, the U.S. is threatening new 
 military action in Iran, Cuba, North Korea, the Philippines, Sudan and 
 other countries.  Anti-war actions in San Francisco, Los Angeles and other 
 cities around the country and around the world will take place on March 19. 
  On the first anniversary of the "Shock and Awe" invasion, March 20, 2004, 
 the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition and others in a larger March 20 National 
 Coalition promoted the building of a united front under the slogan: Bring 
 the Troops Home Now, End Occupation from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti and 
 Everywhere. The demonstration also highlighted the call for Money for Jobs, 
 Education and Healthcare, Not for War and in defense of civil rights and 
 civil liberties. More than 100,000 marched in New York City and 50,000 in 
 San Francisco, refuting the notion that the antiwar movement must turn its 
 back on the just struggle of the Palestinian people in order to build 
 so-called broad support. In fact, the large turnout on March 20 of the 
 Arab-American, Muslim, Haitian and other targeted communities helped the 
 demonstration reflect the broad multi-national and multi-ethnic reality of 
 the global people's movement for justice. This true united front organizing 
 was a major step forward for the anti-war movement in the United States.  
 We urge all anti-war and people's rights organizations to join together in 
 this important day of action and global solidarity.    \n
