YOUTH AND STUDENT ACTION AGAINST WAR AND RACISM! January 18-19 in Washington D.C.

Below you will find information about a planning meeting, march and rally taking place January 18 & 19 in conjunction with the National March on Washington DC to Stop the War on Iraq.

Sunday, January 19 Youth and Student Rally & March

-Gather at 11 am at the Dept of In-Justice (Pennsylvania
Ave. between 9th and 10th NW)
-March to the Presidential Palace (White House) for a
Youth & Student Weapons Inspection

Gather at 11am at the Department of In-Justice
(Pennsylvania Ave. between 9th and 10th NW) to protest the
attacks against the Arab and Muslim communities ?
including the recent mass arrests in California. Many of
these violations are taking place within our own school as
more and more universities are complying with FBI and INS
efforts to gather information, interrogate, detain and
deport thousands of people.

March to the Presidential Palace (White House) for a Youth
and Student Weapons Inspection. If George Bush believes
that the UN weapons inspectors have the right to look into
every building in Iraq, then we should have a right to
check out his "Presidential Palace." It's our schools
that have gone without funding and it's our social
programs that have been cut to pay for the U.S.
government's weapons of mass destruction. A new war in
Iraq is estimated to cost almost $2,000,000,000,000 ($2
trillion, according to a recent American Academy of Arts
and Sciences study). Let's see if Bush provides full and
complete disclosure!

JOIN US TO SAY:
No War on Iraq!
Disarm the Pentagon!
Stop the attacks on the Muslim and Arab communities!
SMASH War & Racism!

Saturday, January 18
Youth & Student Planning Meeting

6 pm
@ the Church of the Brethren
(4th St. and North Carolina Ave. SE)
*walking distance from the demonstration*
(snacks will be provided)

Come to a youth & student meeting to discuss the January
19th actions and future actions against war and racism.

As you know tens of thousands of people will be converging
in Washington D.C. for the weekend of January 18th to take
a stand against War and Racism. On the buses traveling
from all over the country will be anti-war activists,
labor unionists, members of various religious communities,
long time fighters for civil rights and women's rights as
well as those who have never before been to a
demonstration. Undoubtedly the majority of these diverse
participants will be students and young people. In
addition to playing a vital role in the anti-war movement,
the January 18-19 weekend presents an opportunity for us
to take action and develop plans for future action.

Be a part of Youth and Student A.N.S.W.E.R. and, while you
work to stop a war against Iraq, build a movement that
upholds the right of self-determination for the people of
the world and stands in solidarity with the struggles
across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America
against U.S. intervention and neo-colonial domination.
Help build a student movement that fights racism, police
brutality, attacks on education, and all manifestations of
oppression and exploitation. We are fighting for a
different society, one that values human needs over
profit.
