<br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">We

and for reparations for the vast wealth that has been looted from the
country by foreign imperialist countries like the U.S. & France.
These are not our wars!<br /></span>
<br /><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">On Saturday, March 20th, we will gather at noon at Lafeyette Park, across the street from the White House. Beforehand, we will collect and construct hundreds of coffins with flags representing the
multinational victims of U.S. wars of aggression. After the rally, we will march through the streets of D.C., going from the White House to the offices of Halliburton, Washington Post, Mortgage
Bankers Association of America, National Endowment for Democracy and the
U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.</span>

I'm marching<br />

<p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small><img src="http://www.pephost.org/site/../images/content/pagebuilder/62682.jpg" alt="Mahdi Bray" hspace="4" vspace="4" width="140" height="122" align="left" />Whether
Bush or Obama, when it comes to war and occupation, there’s no
difference. It’s the same soup, just a different bowl. The U.S.
government is still engaged in a war of empire and occupation. It wages
a war against Muslims abroad and at home.</small></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small>The
government spends billions of dollars dropping smart bombs on dumb
missions, while the American people go without jobs, homes, health
care, and decent, accessible education.</small></span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small>Muslims
must unite with those who resist oppression and love freedom and
justice. Our strength is in our unity and our resistance. Therefore, we
march.</small></span></p>

policies have proven to be identical in maintaining a hegemonistic
empire. Our community, in particular, is subjected to harsh profiling
and alienation policies; but remains determined to fight the source of
injustice. …</small></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small>We
call on our Arab-American community, and their friends, to mobilize on
March 20th denouncing wars and shifting dire resources, and to tear
down the wall of fear and intimidation.</small></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small>-

[United Steel Workers] will be sending a bus of protesters from its
headquarters in
Pittsburgh to the March 20 demonstration for peace. The time is long
overdue that our nation’s resources be spent on real health care
reform, a social safety net and job creation rather than on weapons of
mass destruction and senseless wars. We march for that change
in our government’s set of priorities</small></span>

reality is that we—the soldiers, sailors, airmen/women, and
marines—are never sent to fight for any just cause. We are, quite
simply, the muscle for the banks and for Wall Street to expand their
reach all over the world.</small><small></small></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small>This
reality cannot be hidden forever, and every day more of us are
waking up. Every day it becomes more apparent that these are not wars
for “national defense” or anyone’s “freedom”; these are wars for
empire. On March 20, we will be marching on Washington. And the more
people that join us, the more we can inspire other soldiers to do the
same, and the closer we get to ending these criminal wars.</small></span></p>

this event, let my voice be heard and make a difference.”</small></span>

<p><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small>Last year,
the New York City Department of Education
announced over $400 million in budget cuts for our public schools.
These types of cuts are happening across the country and they are a
death sentence for our schools.<br />
</small><small>
We are mobilizing for the March 20 March on Washington because we are
outraged that these types of cuts are happening at a time when our
government is spending hundreds of billions of dollars on the criminal
war and occupation of Iraq, and billions more on bailouts for the
richest banks and corporations.</small></span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><small> - <strong>Karina Garcia</strong>, <em>9th grade teacher, New York City</em></small></span></p>
