Busses and caravans from over 100 cities to converge on Washington, D.C. for the Emergency Convergence on the White House.
We Can Stop the War
March 11, 2003--"Conventional wisdom" concluded that the war on Iraq would have taken place months ago but such "wisdom" has been thrown out the window by the unprecedented anti-war uprising of the people of the world. Established power is shaking from one part of the planet to another, as people have shown a united opposition to unprovoked war. Bush and Blair, unable to contend with world-wide opposition to their war plans, are scrambling at the United Nations to find support and cover for their plans to attack Iraq. They can still be stopped. We must take advantage of every moment left to intensify the pressure.
We hope that you will get on the bus. If you can't come to the demonstration we hope that you will make it possible for others to come by making a financial contribution at http://www.VoteNoWar.org/donate.html .
Rain, snow, sleet or freezing cold, tens of thousands of people are coming to Washington, D.C. this Saturday. Luckily the weather forecast calls for a balmy 58 under partly sunny skies.
