Coinciding with the 20th anniversary weekend of the U.S.-invasion
of Iraq, the ANSWER Coalition is initiating a major set of actions
including a major demonstration at the White House in Washington, D.C.
on Saturday March 18 demanding "Peace in Ukraine – Say NO to Endless
U.S. Wars” and “Fund People's Needs, Not the War Machine.”
The Biden administration seems determined to escalate the Ukraine
war. The danger of a catastrophic global war – including nuclear war –
is real. A U.S. General commanding 50,000 troops in the Pacific also
issued a letter to his sub-commanders in recent days informing them
that he believes that the United States will be at war with China
within two years. The danger of global war is growing! The people must
act!
The demonstrations will make connections between the human and
financial toll of U.S. militarism at home and abroad. Key demands
include:
- End the $100 Billion in arms shipments to Ukraine
- End NATO
- Stop the permanent war economy that funnels trillions of dollars
away from jobs, education and health care
- Negotiations now! The people of the U.S. are not interested in the
possibility of nuclear war nor the Pentagon’s policy of “weakening
Russia.”
- No to war with China!
