On March 20, 2003, more than fifteen thousand people marched down Chicago's Lake Shore Drive to oppose the beginning of the war on Iraq. This March 20, we'll finish that march - and join millions across the world in sending a clear message to the U.S. government: The Midwest STILL says no to war!

March 20th: The Midwest Still Says No to War! - March & Rally

End the Occupations of Iraq, Afghanistan & Palestine • Troops Out Now! • Money for Jobs, Housing, Healthcare & Education, Not for Wars & Occupation • Stop Racial Profiling - Defend Civil Liberties and Immigrant Rights!

Saturday, March 20th - 12 Noon

  • March step-off from Michigan & Pearson, one block north of Chicago Ave.

    Rally at Federal Plaza - 1:30 PM
  • Dearborn and Adams, Chicago

    On March 20, people from across the Midwest will march from Michigan and Pearson to the Federal Plaza to voice our opposition to war and occupation. That march will take us along one of the city's busiest corridors -- allowing us to get our call for peace out to as broad an audience as possible. March 20's Chicago march and rally is part of a global day of action to oppose endless war and occupation -- one that will bring together people in hundreds of cities across the globe. Join us!

    Tell Mayor Daley the sidewalk isn't good enough ... on 3/20, when we march against war and occupation -- approve our permit to march in the street!

    March 20th Organizing Resources:

  • March 20th Flyers (PDF): [ English | English - more text | Spanish | Arabic | 1/4 sheet flyer ]
  • March 20th Posters (PDF): [ English | Spanish | Arabic ]

    Using poster files to make 11 x 17 posters: Download and print out the 'posters' on conventional 8-1/2" x 11" paper. Then place the 'poster' on a copier that can do enlargements -- and set the "enlarge" function to 155% and set the paper size to "ledger" (11 x 17 inch paper). That's it -- you've got an 11" x 17" poster. ( Please note: if your copier is one of the handful on the market that has an automatic image centering mechanism, this default needs to be disabled to print the poster properly ).
