Dear Friend,



This week marks the 20th anniversary of the formation of the ANSWER Coalition.



ANSWER was formed on September 14, 2001, 3 days after the September 11 attacks. It was formed by those of us who knew that the Bush administration would cynically manipulate the grief and anger of the people in the United States to launch a wider series of wars in the Middle East. We felt with certainty that Iraq was going to be invaded and that the neocon administration in the White House saw that only as step number one. Their goal was to carry out regime change military operations in Syria, Libya, and Iran. For the past two decades, the ANSWER Coalition has been a consistent antiwar force in the United States opposing U.S. military occupations, bombings, and sanctions against targeted countries, building solidarity with the people of Palestine, and effectively organizing opposition to racial and religious profiling at home.



We could only have done this work because of the commitment of thousands of volunteers and with the financial support from those people of conscience who believed that building opposition to war and racism should be a top priority. Please consider making a donation so we can continue this critical work. <[link removed]>

It's more important than ever to combat the U.S. media and political figures' regime change narratives, call out the hypocrisy of criticism by the U.S. and shed light on the reality of Cuba and its powerful example that should be defended.
