Motives for Rise Against Bush, Shine For A Peaceful Tomorrow actions:
We RISE
· Against the needless slaughter in and occupation of Iraq
· Against the assault on civil liberties, as represented by such acts as the Patriot Act and the immoral detentions at Guantanamo Bay
· Against US support of the Israeli government's denial of human rights against the Palestinian people
· Against U.S. overthrow of Aristide in Haiti
· Against U.S. attempts to overthrow any other democratically elected leader, including Hugo Chavez in Venezuela
· Against any U.S. military action in Iran.
We SHINE
· For a world that embraces peaceful dialogue instead of war
· For a world where we respect the liberty of all beings
· For a world that looks out for all those who are now oppressed, including the poor, women, racial minorities, workers, the disabled, gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, as well as the earth and its creatures
· For a world that embraces social justice
· For democracy and the autonomy of all people to have a full say in how they are governed
· For each other.
I took the above from a emailing sent to me by the J20 Coalition. This is what they stand for, and this is what we will be demonstrating for.... A.N.S.W.E.R. is in need of $30,000 to pay for all the expenses connected with this event. If you have any money to give.... please donate.
And please sign the petition at www.afsc.org to request troops are removed from Iraq.
