MOBILIZE FOR JANUARY 18:
National March on Washington
to Stop Bush's War on Iraq

"Most United Nations diplomats" believe that the war can
come in "record time" after the weapons inspectors' report
is presented to the U.N. on January 27. "Not
coincidentally," reports Reuters (1/1/03), "the date is an
approximate time when the U.S. military would be ready to
attack."

Intervention by the people of the United States can stop
the Bush Administration from using the report as an
automatic trigger. The Associated Press reports in its New
Year's poll that 2/3 of respondents in the U.S. are
worried that an attack on Iraq will bring an attack on the
soil of the U.S.

Despite the fact that weapons inspectors have found no
trace of chemical, biological or nuclear weapons in Iraq
after unfettered access and 200 searches across the
country, Defense Secretary Rumsfeld has ordered the
doubling of troops near Iraq to over 100,000 by early
January. The Pentagon is sending 11,000 more desert
trained combat soldiers, foot soldiers, armor, aviation
and artillery units, dozens more striker aircraft and two
more aircraft carrier battle groups to the region by early
January as well.

The January 18 National March on Washington DC may very
well be the last opportunity that we have on a national
level to show the breadth and depth of opposition -- the
last chance to stop Bush's scheduled plan to start this
war on Iraq. It is imperative that as many people as
possible fill the streets of Washington DC to show united
and mass opposition and the strength and power of our
movement.

While local actions are the essence of a grassroots
movement and continue to take place everyday, there are
times that require the people of the United States to come
together in the largest possible mobilization.

BUSES ARE TRAVELING TO WASHINGTON DC AND TO THE JOINT
ACTION IN SAN FRANCISCO FROM OVER 150 CITIES IN 40 STATES.
