On March 17, 2007, the 4th anniversary of the start of the criminal invasion of Iraq, tens of thousands of people from around the country will descend on the Pentagon in a mass demonstration to demand: U.S. Out of Iraq Now! 2007 is the 40th anniversary of the historic 1967 anti-war march to the Pentagon during the Vietnam War. The message of the 1967 march was "From Protest to Resistance," and marked a turning point in the development of a countrywide mass movement. To read the ANSWER statement, "Why We Are Marching," click here.

Make an end of the year tax-deductible donation

Your help is needed today. We need to raise $50,000 in the next weeks for the March on the Pentagon. We must pay to reserve buses, print hundreds of thousands of leaflets, stickers, and posters, pay for stage, sound, and other logistical expenses. You can still make an end of the year tax-deductible donation - so your money can go to stop the war rather than fund it. Click here to make a donation.
