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!
