March on the Pentagon – Saturday, March 21

March 21 marks the sixth anniversary of the invasion and occupation of Iraq by US and allied forces. Students and community organizations from across the country are mobilizing to be in Washington, D.C. to make their voices heard in the March on the Pentagon. Protests will take place in most major cities in the US and around the world against continued war and occupation by the US and its allies – in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Palestine and elsewhere.

The main organizers of the march are the Answer Coalition and The National Assembly to End the Wars. The website pentagonmarch.org is where you can get any information you may need to get involved. This is taken from their site,

“While millions of families are losing their homes, jobs and health care, the real military budget next year will top one trillion dollars–that’s $1,000,000,000,000. If used to meet people’s needs, that amount could create 10 million new jobs at $60,000 per year… The cost for the occupation of Iraq alone is $400 million each day, or about $12 billion each month…The war in Afghanistan is expanding. Robert Gates… has announced that the troop levels in Afghanistan may double in the coming months. Both he and Vice President Biden predicted higher casualties–or what they cavalierly call “an uptick” in casualties–in the coming period.”

Help to end the tradegy of war. Please go to the sites listed above to get involved. Check out my new “activist link” for free poster downloads and stencils. I am going to add more posters to this section often and encourage anyone to contact me if you have a suggestion or a cause that could use an activist poster or artwork – I would very much like to help!

This new poster, We Come in Peace was finished today. Dominique hand cut all three stencils and helped print two of the main colors! Give a quick woo hoo at your moniter for her.
