We intend to link the devastating impact of the U.S. wars on peoples abroad to the attacks on people at home, as President Obama and Congress pass record military budgets while attacking public sector workers and demanding cuts in funding for schools, housing and other basic needs. As the mass uprisings against the Egyptian, Tunisian and Yemeni dictatorships show, U.S. military support for Israel, Arab dictatorships and the Palestinian Authority is directly at odds with the wishes of the overwhelming majority of the peoples of the region.

Organizing of the March 19th march of course does not preclude the organizing of other activities on or about that date – in fact we encourage the organizing of such activities.

An open meeting to begin organizing the march, and perhaps other associated activities, will be at 10 AM this Saturday, February 5 at the offices of the 8th Day Center for Justice, 205 W. Monroe Street, 5th floor, Chicago (wheelchair accessible). Due to security arrangements for the building, please do not arrive before 9:45 AM or after 10:15 AM (if you absolutely cannot arrive before 10:15 AM, you will have to call someone to be let into the building).

We invite you to come and share your ideas and energy to building a more effective movement against America's wars.
