Demonstrate this Saturday, March 21 on the 6th anniversary of the war against Iraq!
Freedom Socialist Party message:
The U.S. "Liberation of Iraq" is a total disaster by any measure. Since the invasion in March 2003 over one million Iraqis have died and two million have fled to neighboring countries. Almost 5,000 U.S. troops have been killed and at least ten times that number are wounded. The Iraq economy is in such shambles that four million people have no guarantee of food.
On this sixth anniversary of the invasion, the public is fed up. Nearly two-thirds of voters want the U.S. to withdraw troops from Iraq immediately or within one year. However, President Obama wants to increase troops in Afghanistan and talks openly about keeping huge numbers of troops in Iraq to maintain military bases, protect the U.S. embassy and support corporate interests, and the congressional Democratic Party majority refuses to cut off war funding. Both the Democrats and Republicans are still at the service of corporate war profiteers. If they won't risk alienating the military-industry complex in order to
end the war, they won't challenge big business to improve the economy. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are costing $10.3 billion a month. This enormous sum, plus the $2.34 billion a year given Israel to brutally occupy Palestine, should instead be used for healthcare, rebuilding New Orleans, helping workers avoid foreclosures, schools, pensions, or public works jobs.
Take a stand on Saturday, March 21 and join the Radical Women and Freedom Socialist Party contingent marching and protesting in San Francisco. Look for our "Stop the War on Working People at Home and Abroad" banner at Justin Herman Plaza (Embarcadero and Market Streets) starting at 10:30am. We will be marching with the Labor Contingent. Also check out our literature table at the Civic Center rally after the march. Bring your noisemakers and picket signs! Call 415-864-1278 or email baradicalwomen@earthlink.net or bafsp@earthlink.net for more details. Everyone is welcome!
