MARCH THIS SATURDAY!
March and Rally:
NATO expansion - NO!
Peace in Ukraine - YES!
Saturday, Jan. 14 at 12:00 p.m.
Times Square, New York City
The Pentagon announced this week that Ukrainian soldiers would soon be arriving in Oklahoma for training at a U.S. military base -- to learn how to use the highly advanced, U.S.-made Patriot missile system that was recently transferred to the country. This escalation further blurs the line between direct and indirect participation in the conflict, making a catastrophic direct clash with Russia more likely. And on top of this, the latest NATO arms shipments to Ukraine is perhaps the most provocative yet. Armored vehicles, possibly including state-of-the-art tanks, are about to flood the war zone in yet another move to prolong the fighting and prevent peace. The people need to stand up and stop this profoundly reckless policy.
Join us to make your voice heard on January 14! This action was initiated by the ANSWER Coalition and The People's Forum, and is endorsed by Veterans for Peace, CodePink, Party for Socialism and Liberation, United National Anti-War Coalition, Haiti Liberté, Rising Together, Peace in Ukraine Coalition, NYC-DSA Anti-War Working Group, Green Party of Connecticut, Massachusetts Peace Action, Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network, and many others. A full listing of endorsers can be found here <[link removed]>.
On November 19, the ANSWER Coalition and The People’s Forum hosted a major standing room-only event in New York City focused on the Ukraine conflict under the theme “The Path to Peace in Ukraine”. More than 20,000 people watched the event online. Noam Chomsky, Vijay Prashad and Jill Stein were among the speakers who called for an end to NATO expansion and insisted that the U.S. government reverse its policy of escalation and ever-increasing militarism and war spending.
Now we want to invite you to another major action for peace and justice.
On Saturday, January 14, in conjunction with the Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday weekend, we are building another major event in New York City that will begin with a 12pm rally at Times Square followed by a march and an indoor rally/teach-in.
People from all over the region will be converging on Times Square in midtown Manhattan to honor the true anti-war legacy of Dr. King. In the last year of his life, before an assassin’s bullet took him, Dr. King was organizing all around the country against what he described as the “Three Evils” of our society: militarism, racism and poverty. Honoring Dr. King in a meaningful way means to build an ever stronger movement for peace and against social and economic injustice. This must include using society’s vast resources to fund healthcare, housing, education and to save the environment – rather than the bloated war machine.
We invite you to join us in person on Saturday, January 14. If you are associated with an organization your group <[link removed]>can become an endorser <[link removed]> and if you can’t make it to New York that day you can show support by making an urgently needed tax-deductible donation <[link removed]>.
Let’s work and build together for a peaceful tomorrow in Ukraine – and everywhere!
Please make an urgently-needed donation today to help build the anti-war movement <[link removed]>
