The A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition expresses its solidarity with 
the call issued by the Arab progressive movement, the 
European peace movement, and others who are holding 
activities timed to coincide with the third anniversary of  the second Palestinian Intifada (which began on September  28, 2000).

Nationally coordinated demonstrations will take place 
around the world between September 25 and 28. In the Arab  world, most demonstrations will be on September 26 and  September 28. In Europe, the coordinated day of action 
will be on September 27 (see www.stopwar.org.uk), and in  other areas it will be on September 25.  A.N.S.W.E.R. 
chapters, in coordination with other organizations, will 
be holding actions during that week.

MORE INFORMATION

The people of Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan, the 
Philippines, Korea, and Colombia continue to resist empire  and colonial rule. While the Bush administration continues  its murderous occupation of Iraq and has sent more than  $10 billion to Israel to fund colonialism and occupation, 
the government is threatening new wars against Korea,  Syria and Cuba. Using military threats, subversion and 
economic sanctions, the administration is aggressively 
attempting to overthrow the governments in Iran and 
Zimbabwe and replace them with pro-U.S. proxy regimes.

The administration asserts there is never enough money to  meet human needs but insists that there is no shortage of  funds for war. The Bush administration will spend $2.7 
trillion in a vast expansion of the U.S. 
military-industrial apparatus. U.S. war and occupation 
only benefit Citibank, Chase, Haliburton, ExxonMobil and 
the other corporate and banking elites.

DEMONSTRATIONS IN SAN FRANCISCO, LOS ANGELES, NEW YORK  CITY, SEATTLE & MORE

Demonstrations will take place on Sunday, September 28 in  San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Seattle and
