NYC - - March 19: Foreclose the War, Not our Homes and Futures!
Picket and March against the War and
Foreclosures
On the 5th anniversary of the criminal war in
Iraq
Wednesday, March 19, 2008
4:30 (picket) - 5:30 (march)
Bank of America Tower
at 1 Bryant Park
(Sixth Ave between 42nd and 43rd St), NYC
In this time of economic crisis, thousands of homes are being foreclosed,
workers are being laid off in record numbers, and our education system and
social programs are severely underfunded. Meanwhile, the raging wars in Iraq
and Afghanistan are costing human lives on both sides as well as U.S. tax
dollars. The population of the U.S. has proven that we are against these
imperialist wars; and yet our tax dollars are going to these occupations, as
opposed to our needs.
To symbolize the connection between the economic crisis and the war, we will
picket the $1 billion Bank of America Tower in Midtown Manhattan and march to a
candlelight vigil hosted by Nodutol to recognize the 5th anniversary of the
Iraq invasion (Korea Town Plaza at 32nd Street and Broadway). Bank of America
is a war profiteer and is responsible for a large number of the home
foreclosures in the U.S.
The youth group F.I.S.T. (Fight Imperialism-Stand Together) is demanding an end
to U.S. imperialist plunder in the Middle East, Latin America, Africa, Asia,
Eastern Europe, the Balkans and the Caribbean. We demand funding for education,
housing, jobs, and health care; not war and occupation.
