On March 20, 2004, protests will take place all around the world on the one year anniversary of the U.S. bombing and invasion of Iraq. People are organizing on a global scale to demand an end to the occupation of Iraq and an immediate withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the country.

Since the invasion began, hundreds of U.S. and British soldiers and unknown thousands of Iraqi people have been killed. The Iraqi people have clearly stated that occupation is not liberation - that they want the foreign soldiers occupying their country to leave not tomorrow, but today. Iraqis have a right to determine their own future. The U.S. owes monetary reparations to Iraq for all it has destroyed, but with no strings attached. The Iraqis have a right to rebuild their own country: Iraq for the Iraqis! Growing numbers of U.S. soldiers and their families are calling to bring the troops home now. Increasing numbers of people in the United States are helping to build a movement against the occupation as they fight cuts to education, healthcare, job programs, housing and other social service programs.

On October 25, 100,000 people took to the streets of Washington DC to call for an immediate end to the occupation and to bring the troops home now. Tens of thousands more demonstrated in San Francisco and other U.S. cities, and in cities around the world. On that day, the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition began to circulate in the U.S. the international call for demonstrations on March 20 that has been made by groups around the world. We urge all groups and organizations in the U.S. to support this international call and to work together to show the power of a united movement on a global scale.

Begin planning now to hold a demonstration in your city on March 20, 2004. Hundreds of cities around the world will be issuing, circulating and joining this call.

We have flyers and other organizing material available at the San Francisco A.N.S.W.E.R. office located at 2489 Mission St. Rm. #24

Keep checking the A.N.S.W.E.R. website www.interanationalanswer.org for updates on listings of March 20 activities in your area.
