Donations are urgently needed for the March 19th Troops Out Now March from Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem to Central Park
Please go to http://troopsoutnow.org/donate.html
Dear Anti-war Activist,
On March 19th, those most impacted by the criminal war in Iraq will be leading a historic march from Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem to Central Park.
Youth from Harlem will be demanding jobs and full employment, not war. Mothers who have lost their children to this war will speak out. Day care and health care workers who face drastic cuts because of Bush's war budget will be picking up signs. Immigrant workers facing violence and discrimination will march.
People of color and the poor who are disproportionately hurt by the Iraq war will lead this march.
What is unique about this mobilization is the unity it is forging.
Anti-war activists from Long Island are organizing a peace train. Buses from Washington D.C., Baltimore, Philadelphia, Boston and other cities will be converging in New York City on March 19. They will be marching side by side with their sisters and brothers in Harlem and across New York.
And they will speak in one voice in demanding an end to the suffering of the people of Iraq and the world who have been trampled on, occupied and murdered by the Pentagon.
This unity is a key ingredient in stopping the war.
But we are facing an urgent and difficult challenge.
To make this happen we need funds to make sure that the sound, stage, portable toilets, signs, tables, walkie talkies and all the other things that make a demonstration happen are there.
Every dollar counts. Hopefully, you will march with us on the 19th. But if you can't march consider making a donation to help those who can. Your help is the invisible glue that makes this happen. It is obvious that a coalition such as ours does not have big funders, we depend on the people.
Please give generously.

Update on March 19
Plans for the March 19 March and Rally in Central Park, NYC are drawing support from antiwar groups across the country.
Saturday, March 19, the second anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, is a world-wide day of protest. In New York City, a broad coalition of antiwar, community, solidarity, and labor organizations will march from Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem to Central Park's East Meadow to demand the immediate, complete, and unconditional withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.
Groups from all over the eastern U.S. are organizing buses, vans, car caravans, and peace trains to travel to NYC for what promises to be a massive rally against the war. Activists are travelling from as far away as Maine, Georgia, and Ohio to demand an end to the occupation and money for human needs, not for war.
