Make this holiday season one of solidarity, peace, justice and
struggle. Join ANSWER Coalition, other anti-war/peace groups and
students, veterans and community organizations on Saturday, Dec. 18
for a protest and vigil in Los Angeles.
 
We'll rally at the busiest street corner in Los Angeles on the
busiest shopping day of the year to say no to U.S. wars, racism
and all attacks on working and poor people. 
 
There will be anti-war banners and signs, photos of children affected
by U.S. occupations and proxy wars, hundreds of candles, veterans
just returning from a mass anti-war action in Washington, D.C.,
well-known speakers, musicians, Korean drummers and more. In
addition, we call on artists and poets to help make this event even
more exciting, visual and inclusive.
 
The U.S. war on Afghanistan is in its 10th year with no end in sight.
U.S. troops still occupy Iraq. The government continues to fund the
Israeli war state that occupies and oppresses Palestinians. Each day,
over $500 million in U.S. taxpayer dollars goes to fund
war on working and poor people abroad as millions of people in the
United States are losing jobs, homes, health insurance, unemployment
benefits and finding it harder to survive. This must end. We have
to let the White House, Congress and everyone know that we will
continue to build a movement for peace, equality and real change.
 
Join us on December 18 to demand:
 
*  Stop the wars! Bring the troops home now!
*  U.S./NATO out of Afghanistan! U.S. out of Iraq!
*  Hands of Iran, Korea, the Philippines ...
*  End U.S. aid to Israel! Free Palestine!
*  Money for jobs, education, healthcare, housing--not war!
*  Stand against racism, immigrant bashing, sexism and
anti-LGBT bigotry!
 
Let's unite to stop U.S. wars abroad and demand funding for people's
needs at home!
