JANUARY 20th -- WORLDWIDE DEMONSTRATIONS AGAINST OCCUPATION AND WAR IN
IRAQ, ON THE DAY OF BUSH'S INAUGURATION
The world-wide antiwar movement has called for massive demonstrations against the war on the weekend on March 19-20, 2005-- the second anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. We have a responsibility to respond with renewed determination and commitment in the face of the Bush Administration's launching of a new phase of the war against the Iraqi people.
A few months ago, Mayor Bloomberg, the NYPD, and Bush told us that we could not march to and rally in Central Park. We do not accept this decision and are determined to challenge it by assembling tens of thousands of people to retake Central Park --our Park. The antiwar movement cannot afford, and must not allow, this infringement on our rights, especially in a city as important as NYC.
We call on all antiwar and progressive activists, organizations, and coalitions to work towards building a massive march on Sunday March 19th to Central Park under the slogan OUT NOW!
We propose to set up an OUT NOW coalition, open to all individuals and organizations willing to work together to stop the war. The reason why we are proposing that we call this movement “OUT NOW!” is because these two simple words convey the absolute zero tolerance for the occupation of Iraq that must drive our organizing hence forth. We need everyone to know that the mass movement is re-opening a full-scale campaign to stop the war and end the occupation and that the movement means business.
We encourage you to endorse this call.
THE CHALLENGES FACING THE ANTIWAR MOVEMENT
The following points are not submitted as the basis for unity that all must agree to before working together. They are points of discussion that merit movement-wide attention at this crucial juncture..........
