West Coast Anti-War March
Saturday, January 18 -- San Francisco

For more info: 415-821-6545


On January 18, 2003, thousands will march in San Francisco to declare "No War On Iraq!" The march will be the West Coast component to the National Anti-War Mass Demonstration in Washington, DC on that day.  The Washington, DC protest will be followed by the convening of a National Grassroots Peace Congress the following day, January 19.  Many activists from San Francisco will be flying from the January 18 protest to attend the Congress the next day. We encourage all those who oppose the war to attend one of the Jan. 18 protests, either in San Francisco or Washington. Details of the San Francisco protest will follow shortly.

Why you should be in SF or DC Jan. 18-19


Jan. 18-19 commemorates the 12th anniversary of the first Gulf War, as
well as the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.  Dr. King publicly condemned the U.S. war in Vietnam, providing a powerful connection between the civil rights movement and the anti-war movement. In his "Beyond Vietnam" speech at Riverside Church in 1967, he stated, "The greatest purveyor of violence in the world today [is] my own government...[F]or the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent."

Dr. King believed that it was impossible to successfully wage a war on poverty at home while waging a war of aggression in Vietnam. The same can be said today about George W. Bush's global war drive. Social programs and services are being looted as Bush & Congress provide record-breaking sums for weapons of mass destruction and war. We demand that these hundreds of billions of dollars be spent on jobs, education, housing, health care and to meet human needs!
