Live Music, Guest Speakers, and Food
Many of you joined with the thousands who rallied in Harlem on March 19, the 2nd anniversary of the invasion of Iraq. We rallied then in Marcus Garvey Park and then marched to Central Park and to the mayor's private residence to make the point that the war and occupation is not only killing people, it's robbing poor communities of the funds that are needed for affordable housing amongst other things.
We need to continue to drive home that message - the war is also a war against the poor at home- that is what the July 31 rally is about. And we will connect the struggle in our communities to the struggles of people standing against war and occupation everywhere--in Iraq, Palestine, Haiti, Afghanistan, the Philippines, and elsewhere.
On to Washington DC on Sept. 24 - The Harlem rally on July 31 will also kick-off the mobilizing for the antiwar march on Washington in September - as well as the Millions More Movement events on October 14-16.
COME BACK TO HARLEM WITH US - Make a difference, bring your friends and family on July 31. in addition to speakers there will be great music and cultural performances, and food will be available. Bring the Troops home now ! Housing, Jobs, Healthcare and Education - not War and Occupation !
