A.N.S.W.E.R. Chicago is organizing transportation to DC for September 24 Mass March on the White House. For information about transportation call 773 920-7545 or email answerchicago (at) gmail.com. We have put a deposit on two buses but based on the response we are getting we assume we will have to add additional buses. The bus companies that work with us have assured us they will be able to accomodate additional buses but first we have to sell the tickets for the first two buses. Don't procrastinate!!! Get on the bus!!!
Surround the White House!!!

A.N.S.W.E.R. Chicago has a new office. Our address is at 3334-6 1/2 W Lawrence, Suite 202. A.N.S.W.E.R. holds weekly volunteer meetings. We will be doing visibility for September 24 all summer as well as raising money for scholarships to DC for September 24. For information about day and time of our volunteer meetings or to help with visibility or fundraising, please call 773 920-7545 or email answerchicago (at) gmail.com.

International A.N.S.W.E.R. has now set up a transportation network on their website so check it out at www.answercoalition.org to see where there are transporation areas set up.


September 24 in DC:

The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, on behalf of the September 24 National Coalition, has obtained permits for the September 24 March on Washington at the White House. We have obtained the permits for both Lafayette Park on the North Side of the White House and the Ellipse on the South Side. We expect a sea of protestors to surround the White House in a vivid demonstration of the growing opposition to the criminal war and occupation of Iraq. Marching under the banner "Stop the War Against Iraq, Bring the Troops Home Now, End Colonial Occupation from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti and Everywhere," communities from throughout the United States will converge in a unified display of what now represents majority sentiment: opposition to the U.S. government's war drive.

Obtaining the permits at the White House will allow the largest number of people to participate, exercise their First Amendment rights, and speak out against the Bush administration and its war for Empire.


TRANSPORTATION NETWORK NOW UP AND RUNNING!
