While the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan is growing ever larger, the
occupation of Iraq is still raging, nearing its seventh anniversary.
With over 4,300 US soldiers and over 1.3 million Iraqi civilians
estimated dead, something has to be done to stop this senseless
slaughter.
This year Students for a Democratic Society will hold a national week
of action March 15th to 20th where students will organize protests
and direct actions at campuses across the country in opposition to the
ongoing, brutal occupations.
The need for a vibrant anti-war movement has rarely been felt more
than this very moment, while the United States drops trillions of
dollars into unjust wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, during the worst
economic crisis in 80 years. Students are struggling to pay for
school while tuition skyrockets, and states lose billions of dollars
to two continuing occupations.
On Saturday, March 20th, SDS will participate in a massive National
March & Rally in D.C. hosted by A.N.S.W.E.R. to finish the week of
action with tens of thousands of people in the street!
We’re calling on students and youth from across the country to join
us the week of March 15-20th in demanding: Fund Education, Not
Occupation!
