In January, representatives of over 90 antiwar and community organizations gathered to begin organizing the Chicago area's response to the 4th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq - a mass march on Michigan Ave. As the scene of the largest mass false arrest in Chicago history and an on-going free speech battle with the city, organizing for the right to march on Michigan Avenue was seen as a symbol of the ongoing battle to defend civil liberties in Chicago, and in the nation at large. This year's march will be preceded by walkouts and feeder marches from area high school and college campuses.

On the 4th Anniversary of the War Stop Funding War and Occupation! TROOPS HOME NOW! MARCH and RALLY
TUESDAY, MARCH 20, 2007 6:00 PM - Assembly - 24 W. Walton Street 7:30 PM - March - Down Michigan Ave. to Daley Plaza
If you're critical of this war but have never taken part in an antiwar action, now it's even more important than ever to participate. Hundreds of thousands have died, including over 3,000 U.S. soldiers and as many as 650,000 Iraqis - with those numbers growing daily.
Americans have paid roughly half a trillion dollars for the war - including over billion from Illinois residents - all funds that could instead have funded acess to quality health care, housing and education. And leaders from both parties have vowed to keep the dollars flowing. Meanwhile, the U.S. government continues to bankroll the brutal occupation of Palestine, support Israeli aggression in Lebanon, continues its 5 year invasion of Afghanistan and threaten future attacks against Iran.
On March 20th, take a stand. Tell the government we want money for human needs, not war and corporate greed

(The pdf posters are designed to produce an 11" x 17" poster. That is why the margins on it appear "wrong." To produce the 11" x 17" poster, simply put a print out of this pdf in a copier and set the "enlarge" function to 155% and set the paper size to "ledger." Voila—you get an 11" x 17" poster. Please note that if your copier is one of the handful on the market that has an automatic image centering mechanism, this default needs to be disabled in order to print the poster properly.)
