solidarity with the people of Iraq, issued the following 
statement of support: "Voices in the Wilderness fully 
endorses A.N.S.W.E.R.'s call to action for a march on 
Washington on April 12.  While war rages in Iraq, we join  millions of others in the spirit of nonviolent resistance

APRIL 12 WILL TRULY BE A GLOBAL DAY OF ACTION.

On March 31, the ILPS-Philippine Chapter announced that it  would change its call for a Asia Pacific region-wide 
mobilization from April 9 to April 12 "So that we can be 
one with many more people in registering our mightiest,  loudest, and most militant protest ... Together with 
Africa, North and South America and Europe, the people of  Asia Pacific shall also march, rally and protest on April 
12 to compel US President George Bush and his cohorts to  STOP THIS SENSELESS WAR. We hope that we could mobilize  hundreds of thousands, if not millions, in our region. 
..." More information can be found at
