Just One Week until the March 20 Global Day of Action

Transportation information and over 200 local actions

The March 20, 2004, Global Day of Action is in just one week and momentum is growing on a local, regional, national and international scale. There are now demonstrations in over 45 countries, including in over 200 U.S. cities in 36 states, which local organizers have posted to the A.N.S.W.E.R. website. For the regional action in New York, buses, vans, car caravans and trains are bringing people from as far south as Richmond, VA to as far north as Burlington, VT. Currently there are over 20 cities organizing transportation to New York City. For information on transportation to New York City or how to plug into one of the over 200 demonstrations being organized across the U.S., see below for links.

March 20 will be a powerful manifestation of the people in the United States who are demanding "Bring the Troops Home Now" and "End Colonial Occupation from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti and Everywhere." It will be the first massive outpouring since the October 25, 2003, demonstrations when 100,000 people came into the streets of Washington DC.
