As the danger of global nuclear war grows, peace demonstrations are scheduled around the country March 18 and 19.  Coinciding with the 20th anniversary weekend of the criminal U.S.-invasion of Iraq, a major set of actions will take place including a demonstration at the White House in Washington, D.C. on Saturday March 18 demanding “Peace in Ukraine – Say NO to Endless U.S. Wars” and “Fund People’s Needs, Not the War Machine.” The effort to initiate these rallies was sponsored by CODEPINK, ANSWER Coalition and the People’s Forum.

The demonstrations will make connections between the human and financial toll of U.S. militarism at home and abroad. Key demands include:

  • Peace in Ukraine – Negotiations not escalation!
  • Abolish NATO – End U.S. militarism & sanctions on Syria, Cuba, Zimbabwe, Venezuela, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Iran and many other nations
  • Fund people’s needs, not the war machine!
  • No war with China!
  • End U.S. aid to racist apartheid Israel!
  • Fight racism & bigotry at home, not other peoples!
  • U.S. hands off Haiti!
  • End AFRICOM!
  • End the siege on Syria!
  • Free all political prisoners – Mumia Abu-Jamal, Julian Assange, Leonard Peltier, and many others
