We believe that a pre-emptive war in Iraq will result in the following

- An increase in the risk of terrorism, both domestically and internationally.

- Media distraction from Bush Administration scandals.

- Seizure of Iraq's rich oilfields. (Guess who gets Saddam's oil?)

- Needless deaths of innocent Iraqi citizens and Americans.

- A disproportionate percentage of American People of Color risking their lives while serving in U.S. Armed Forces.

Antiwar Demonstration

Every Saturday and Sunday
from 12:00 noon to 6:00 pm

Join us Saturday and Sunday afternoons to say NO to a potential new war on Iraq. Let the Bush administration know that our tax dollars should be spent on our citizens, (the 40 million Americans who live below the poverty line or perhaps the 50 million Americans without healthcare) NOT to bomb innocent Iraqi civilians! Attacking civilians will not bring peace or security to us in the States, rather it will encourage more terrorist attacks against our civilians.

We must speak up now to stop this nonsense, stop this war! THE PEOPLE COMING OUT IN FORCE IS THE ONLY THING THAT CAN STOP THIS WAR. So, we invite everyone to come out, join us, express yourselves and be part of the growing antiwar movement. We welcome and encourage dialog in hopes to inform others as well as being informed ourselves. Please don't ignore this dire situation that will affect us all. Come out on Saturday and Sunday afternoons to stand for peace and justice throughout the States and the world.

Every Friday
5:30 pm

Because the war is unjust, illegal and immoral. Because the social conditions facing our people have not improved since the War in VietNam. Because hospitals are being closed, because there is a lack of affordable housing, because there is a lack of jobs, because more money is being spent on the war than on education in our communities. Because our struggle for self-determination continues!
