Turning congress over to the Democrats in 2006 did not stop the war. Electing Barack Obama to the whitehouse is not stopping the war. Our newly elected leaders need some help finding their cojones. The war is not going to end until we end it ourselves. The first step is to join your brothers and sisters in the streets on March 21st.

Over 50 Regional Centers Mobilizing for March 21 in LA
Join Group Transportation to the Mass Protest
From Long Beach, OC, Riverside, Ventura, San Diego & Beyond

March 21 is shaping up to be a true Southern California Regional Protest. There are over 50 Organizing Centers in schools, cities and neighborhoods from San Diego to Bakersfield and everywhere in between. There is still time to organize people to come from where ever you live.

The March 21 Mass March and Rally in LA, which is coordinated with marches on the Pentagon and in San Francisco, will be the most important statement against the war this winter and spring. The new administration in Washington has endorsed more years of war and occupation in Iraq, has ordered the escalation of the war in Afghanistan and has fully backed Israel's ongoing war on the Palestinian people. the White House wants to increase Pentagon spending above Bush administration levels. Meanwhile, almost 700,000 people are losing their jobs each month in the U.S. On March 21, tell the White House and Congress that we won't stand for endless war and bank bailouts--we need jobs, education, health care and housing instead. A new period of people's struggle is beginning!

Join us at Hollywood and Vine, 12 noon, in Los Angeles on March 21. Thousands will gather for a rally with speakers and music and then march through the streets of LA. And read through this email to find an Organizing and/or Transportation Center in your neighborhood. These Centers have March 21 flyers and posters. The Transportation Centers will help you get to the protest from where you live. You can also contact the ANSWER Office: 213-251-1025 or  answerla@answerla.org.
