On Dec. 1, in dozens of cities and towns, students, community organizers, Civil Rights activists, antiwar organizers, veterans, clergy, and military families will be taking to the streets to honor Rosa Parks by continuing the struggle. In New York, thousands will converge on Wall St, the Headquarters of the corporate warmongers, in a rally against Poverty, Racism, and War.

More than 100,000 Iraqi people and 2,100 U.S. soldiers have died as a result of a bipartisan policy of war and greed. Meanwhile, the government's racism and criminal neglect in the face of Hurricane Katrina have left thousands dead, and tens of thousands homeless. Add to this growing unemployment, unionbusting, continued attacks on immigrants, women, and the LGBT community, and cuts in healthcare, housing, and education, and it becomes clear that we need to build a movement that unites the struggles against poverty, racism, and war.

It's time to move from protest to resistance, to say, "Troops Home Now, or we'll shut it down!" Let's begin by shutting down Wall St on Dec. 1--no business as usual. Let's observe Dec. 1, the 50th anniversary of the day that Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat and helped launch the modern Civil Rights struggle, to launch a national movement against poverty, racism, and war.

Demand:

Bring the Troops Home Now
Cut the War Budget, Not Healthcare, Housing and Education
Justice for Hurricane Katrina Survivors
Military recruiters out of our schools.
