Bush has declared it's war time all the time. After the 
massive bombing in Afghanistan, the escalation of 
intervention in Colombia, the brutal U.S.-backed Israeli 
invasion of the Occupied Territories of Palestine, the 
Bush administration has now declared they are preparing 
for a major ground and air war against Iraq. Tens of 
thousands will die unless we act now. The people of the 
world can stop this war before it starts. Join us 
Saturday, June 1 in New York City for a national day-long 
conference of panels and workshop discussions to plan a 
comprehensive anti-war strategy.!

MORE ABOUT THE JUNE 1 CONFERENCE

On April 20, 100,000 people came into the streets of 
Washington DC, and 35,000 more in San Francisco, to say no 
to the U.S. government's war drive - and to stand in 
solidarity with the people of Palestine who have been 
heroically resisting aggression, occupation, racism and 
colonialism.  Millions have come into the streets all over 
the Arab world to show their support for this resistance.

 From Colombia and Argentina, to Venezuela and Cuba, to 
Korea and the Philippines'people on every continent are 
resisting the military and corporate domination being 
carried out through George Bush's declared war on the 
world.

 From Palestine to Colombia to Korea to the Philippines to 
Washington DC - people are standing up to the U.S. 
government's war drive.

A.N.S.W.E.R. seeks to build the broadest coalition 
dedicated to creating a new movement that will show 
militant solidarity with all those struggling against the 
evils of corporate capitalism, imperialism, and oppression 
everywhere around the world, including right here at home.
