Dear friend,?
Momentum is growing quickly for this?Saturday's National Day of Action U.S. Troops Out of Iraq! <[link removed]>Over night more than 100 endorsers have joined the call and additional actions have been called for in cities in every region of the country.
In the last 28 years more than a million Iraqis have died?as a consequence of U.S. occupation, bombings and sanctions. Tens of thousands of U.S. troops have either been killed or suffered life-changing wounds. The U.S. government has spent more than $3 trillion dollars in the on-going occupation and bombing of this oil-rich country. Instead of taking the United States out of this endless war,?Donald Trump has ordered 750 more U.S. troops to the Middle East and potentially 3,000 more. This is in addition to the 5,200 U.S. troops already stationed in Iraq.
These endless acts of violence by the U.S. empire are why on Saturday, January 4 the ANSWER Coalition, CODEPINK and others are calling on people from around the United States to organize local demonstrations to demand: NO MORE U.S. TROOPS TO IRAQ OR THE MIDDLE EAST! U.S. OUT OF IRAQ NOW! and NO WAR/NO SANCTIONS ON IRAN!
