Come participate in an initial Planning Meeting to organize an anti-war action on Saturday, Jan. 27th in the L.A. area, to send a message to Congress: Bring the Troops Home Now!
WHO: Any and all individuals and organizations that want the U.S to Get Out of Iraq Now!
WHAT: An initial Planning Meeting to organize an anti-war action on Saturday, Jan. 27th in Los Angeles (one suggestion, for instance, is to hold that action at a Democratic Party office).
WHEN: Saturday, January 6th, 2 - 5 pm
WHERE: United Teachers of Los Angeles (UTLA) Building (tentatively Room 814 -- look for signs), 3303 Wilshire Blvd., Los Angeles (Corner of Berendo and Wilshire -- 2 blocks West of Vermont). Free parking is available in structure behind UTLA Building on Berendo (tell them you are going to UTLA).
WHY: Throughout Los Angeles, growing numbers of activists have been expressing a desire to join their voices to those planning to protest the war on January 27th in Washington DC and San Francisco. The November elections in the United States sent a clear message that voters reject the Iraq war. And opinion polls show that 71% of Americans want to end the war, and seven in 10 Iraqis want the U.S. to leave sooner rather than later. Yet NONE of the various plans for Iraq now being discussed in Washington -- including those proposed by House and Senate Democrats -- even consider withdrawing the U.S. military from Iraq. So, we want to send a resounding message to Congress that the people of Southern California want an immediate and total withdrawal of the United States from Iraq NOW!
The best meeting possible would be one in which the broadest representation of groups, communities, and individuals supporting Southern California\'s anti-war movement join together to discuss and plan a possible action for January 27th. So won\'t you come, and tell everyone else to come as well? Please share this announcement with anyone interested, forward it to your mailing lists, and post it in your websites.
