The Outrage in New Orleans is a clarion call to the Antiwar and grassroots movement:
The time has arrived to take our struggle to a higher level. Let us work together and organize a nationwide strike against Poverty, Racism and War on Dec. 1, 2005, the 50th anniversary of the day that Rosa Parks helped launch the modern civil rights movement.
No School - No Shopping - No Work --local protests and teachins through December 2 and 3 -- A Mass March on Wall Street, NYC. It is time for the people to demonstrate that they can stop business as usual coast-to-coast when justice requires it.
The war and occupation of Iraq, coupled with the Katrina Outrage, have demonstrated to the world the urgent necessity shut for fundamental change, and a movement that is big enough and determined enough to achieve the goal. Katrina has exposed the ugly truths about class and race, poverty, war and militarism. Our demand to end the war in Iraq and to bring the troops home now must be backed up by the kind of mass tactics that signal we mean business.
Fifty years ago, Black people in Montgomery, All. were forced by law to sit in the back of public buses, and give their seats to any white person who demanded it. When Rosa Parks, a garment worker and civil rights activist, refused to give up her seat to a white man, she sparked the Montgomery bus boycott against segregation on public buses, one of the most successful and truly mass boycotts in history. The Montgomery bus boycott also introduced to the world a young reverend named Martin Luther King Jr., who became the boycott's principal public leader.
