Feb 15th Anti-War/Anti-Racism Protest in Chicago!

February 15th is an international day of protest against war on Iraq, with protests planned in New York and all the major capitals of Europe. It is also just 6 days before the “registration” deadline for many Pakistanis in the United States, the same “registrations” which led to the arrests of more than 1000 Iranians in Los Angeles a few weeks ago.
The drive to war is being fueled by the scapegoating of innocent Muslims, South Asians and Arabs, fanning fears so that citizens feel it is “necessary” for the United States to launch a new war on Iraq. Please join a community march to say stop the attacks on immigrants, repeal the registration act, NO to war on Iraq!

* Pakistanis and Muslims: Stand up for your rights!

* All others: Stand in solidarity with your brothers and sisters – your rights could be next!
