Chicago, IL
No To War and Occupation
Saturday, March 19th 2005 14:00 Central Time
Federal Plaza, Adams and Dearborn St., Chicago
With feeder marches across the city (see below)


The U.S. government uses our tax dollars to bankroll occupations in Iraq, Palestine and Afghanistan, threaten military intervention against Iran and Syria, support right-wing regimes in countries that include Colombia and Haiti, and overthrow the governments of Venezuela and Cuba. The hundreds of billions of dollars our government spends on war and occupation could instead fund affordable health care, housing, education, social security, public transportation and a host of other social and economic needs at right here at home. Send the government a message. Join us on March 19.

We are currently battling for our constitutional rights to free speech and public assembly, and are seeking legal action to force the City of Chicago to honor our right to assemble and march according to the scenario proposed below:
