Dear Friend,
I wanted to make sure that you saw this email. I am urging everyone to make a donation today to
support the continued work of the ANSWER Coalition in 2020.
Best regards, Eugene Puryear National Organizer, ANSWER
Coalition _____________________________________________________
The ANSWER Coalition had its 18th birthday on September
14, 2019. Our coalition was formed three days after the September 11,
2001 attacks by people who were convinced that it was urgently
necessary to start a new antiwar movement. Bush and Cheney were
gearing up to take the country into a string of endless wars using the
terrorist attack as a pretext. Just 15 days after ANSWER was formed we
drew together 25,000 people in a large national action in Washington
D.C. that inaugurated a new anti-war movement that grew by leaps and
bounds as Bush prepared to attack Iraq.
The ANSWER Coalition’s work has grown and continues to
expand. We have twenty five chapters. In the last year we
helped mobilize people all over the country in opposition to the
attempted coup against Venezuela. Mass mobilizations on March 16
helped invigorate a larger solidarity movement. We played a major role
in the Embassy Protection Collective struggle to stop the illegal
seizure of a diplomatic compound.
2019 has been a year of intense struggle and activity. As one looks
back at the calendar of 2019 you can see that the ANSWER Coalition was
mobilizing almost every day, in cities and towns throughout the
country, opposing the U.S. war machine on many fronts. Organizing,
educating and building grassroots resistance is the key work of
ANSWER. We do it every day and we do it as an all-volunteer
effort.
I’m writing to you because the ANSWER Coalition is
appealing to all of its supporters to make an urgently needed
donation. Our movement is growing but so is the
ever-increasing drive toward endless war. We will continue this
critically important work but only with your help and with the support
of other people of conscience. Please make an urgently needed donation
today.
Help Build the Antiwar Movement,
Brian
Becker National Director, ANSWER Coalition
