A.N.S.W.E.R. LEADER INTERVIEWED TONIGHT ON BILL MOYERS

Tonight's (Friday, March 5) "NOW with Bill Moyers" on PBS  features a segment on the government's criminalizing of  dissent that includes an interview with Mara 
Verheyden-Hilliard attorney and co-founder, with Carl 
Messineo, of the Partnership for Civil Justice. Mara is a  member of the national Steering Committee of the 
A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition, and co-chair of the Mass Defense  Committee of the National Lawyers Guild.

"NOW with Bill Moyers" airs in New York City at 8:30 p.m.,  in Washington, DC at 9:00 p.m., in San Franciso at 10:00 
p.m., and in Los Angeles at 8:00 p.m. To check your local

A.N.S.W.E.R. NATIONAL ORGANIZER SPEAKS ABOUT HAITI ON  PACIFICA

Also, you can hear an interview on Pacifica's Flashpoints  with Sarah Sloan, a national organizer with the 
A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition and a spokesperson for the 
A.N.S.W.E.R. Youth and Student National Coalition. Sloan 
reports on breaking news about Haiti, specifically her 
discussions with the Ambassador of the Central African  Republic regarding U.S. pressure to obstruct people's 
ability to meet with and talk to President Aristide.

Sloan told Flashpoints, "We consider this [the 
revelations] to be complete verification that this is 
really coming from the Bush Administration to prevent 
President Aristide from telling the truth, telling his 
side of the story long enough for the U.S. government to  attempt to install a new government in Haiti." To hear 
this interview, go to: 
http://www.pacifica.org/programs/flashpoints/flashpoints_040304.html

Today, tens of thousands of Haitians have taken to the 
streets in the capital city of Port au Prince, marching to  the U.S. Embassy and to the Presidential Palace demanding  the return of President Aristide and the end to the 
foreign invasion and occupation of their country by the 
forces who carried out the coup d'etat against President  Aristide. The so-called rebel leader Guy Phillipe revealed  his true political orientation in an interview quoted by 
the Black Commentator. "'Pinochet made Chile what it is,'  Philippe 'gushed' when asked his favorite historical 
figure. 'Number 2 on Philippe's list is former U.S. 
President Ronald Reagan,' the Miami Herald reported."

FUNDS URGENTLY NEEDED FOR MARCH 20

Join hundreds of thousands of people on March 20 who are  taking to the streets across the U.S. to fight back 
against the Bush Administration's worldwide "regime 
change" program from Iraq to Palestine to Haiti and 
everywhere, and who will be standing with the people of  Haiti as they struggle to restore their democracy.

We urgently need funds to make the March 20 demonstrations  a huge success. The expenses of the New York demonstration  alone that A.N.S.W.E.R. must raise are in the tens of 
thousands of dollars. We cannot do this without your help.  Please, make a TAX DEDUCTIBLE donation now by going to http://www.internationalanswer.org/donate.html

Tomorrow, Saturday March 6, there will be a significant  demonstration in New York City's Haitian community. We  urge everyone in the New York, New Jersey, Connecticut  area to attend. The demonstration will begin at 10:00 a.m  at The Junction - Flatbush Ave.
