March & Rally to End the War Now!
March to Sunset and Cahuenga (CNN media building)
March 15 is almost here. This weekend, thousands of people will gather in Los
Angeles to protest on the 5th anniversary of the criminal Iraq war. Buses and
carpools are coming from all over Southern California to join the protest.
A huge demonstration in LA on March 15 will send a strong message to the warmakers--the people demand an immediate end to the war. It will also continue to galvanize people to play an increasingly active role in the anti-war movement. We don't want another five years of war and occupation. Join the anti-war movement today. Only a powerful, independent people's movement can stop the war!

'PROVING GROUND'
Music by Los Duggans
Wilkerson's latest work, "Proving Ground," was performed at the 2007 Sundance Film Festival where it shocked and educated audiences about the horrors of U.S. imperialist aerial bombardment--from Germany to Vietnam to Iraq.
