Plans for the March 19, 2005, March and Rally in Central Park, NYC are drawing support from antiwar groups across the country.

Saturday, March 19, the second anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, is a world-wide day of protest. In New York City, a broad coalition of antiwar, community, solidarity, and labor organizations will march from Marcus Garvey Park in Harlem to Central Park's East Meadow to demand the immediate, complete, and unconditional withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq.

Groups from all over the eastern U.S. are organizing buses, vans, car caravans, and peace trains to travel to NYC for what promises to be a massive rally against the war. Activists are traveling from as far away as Maine, Georgia, and Ohio to demand an end to the occupation and money for human needs, not for war.

Troops Out Now

The Troops Out Now Coalition is bringing together diverse progressive and antiwar groups to build a united struggle against the war in Iraq and the war at home. The last meeting of the Coalition drew 65 participants, representing 38 different organizations from all over the Northeast.

March 19 Events

10:00 AM - Gather at Marcus Garvey Park, 124th St. & 5th Ave. in Harlem for a brief rally before marching to Central Park.

11:20 AM - Stop at the recruiting center at 76 W. 125th St. to protest against economic conscription, militarism in the schools, and the return of the draft.

12:00 Noon - Rally in the East Meadow in Central Park

3:30 PM - March (route to be announced - see http://troopsoutnow.org for updates)

Peace Trains

Communities in Long Island, New Jersey, Westchester County, and Connecticut are organizing "Peace Trains" to come to NYC on March 19.

Activists will board trains at pre-determined times and locations and ride to the demonstration together.

Lucius Walker, human rights lawyer Lynne Stewart, Members of the NY City Council, labor officials, immigrant rights organizers, artists, celebrities, vets, military families and U.S. soldiers who are resisting orders to Iraq..

A Global Day of Protest

The global antiwar movement has called for massive demonstrations on the weekend of March 19-20 . In addition to the rally in NYC, demonstrations will take place all over the U.S., including a major demonstration in Fayetteville, NC, home of Ft. Bragg. For more information, see http://www.ncpeacejustice.org

Ten Things You Can Do:

1) Come to the rally and bring a friend. Join tens of thousands of people in Central Park to tell Bush we're fed up with his war. For travel information, see http://troopsoutnow.org/logistics.html

2) Volunteer to help prepare for the rally. We need hundreds of volunteers for this event. Drop by 39 W. 14th St. #206 in Manhattan to help, or call 212-633-6646.

3) Put up posters and flyers. Stop by an organizing center to pick up posters to put up in your neighborhood.

4) Organize at your job or school. Put up flyers or posters, hand out literature, talk to your fellow workers or students. Organize a group to come to the rally together.

5) Organize a bus, caravan, or peace train. If you live outside NYC, become an organizing center.

6) Call your friends, email your lists. Word of mouth is the most effective way of getting the word out. Tell everyone you know to be there on March 19th.

7) Volunteer to help out on the day of the rally. Hundreds of volunteers will be needed to help with setup, getting out literature, security, and many other tasks. Look for a Troops Out Now volunteers table in East Meadow.

8) Take off work or school the week of March 19th. Come into the mobilizing center office at 39 W. 14th St. in Manhattan to help make placards and banners and with many other tasks to prepare for the rally.

9) Endorse. Visit the Troops Out Now website and add your name or your organization's name to the growing list of endorsers. http://troopsoutnow.org/endorse.html

10) Donate. Help with the enormous expenses involved with this major demonstration. Every dollar you donate goes to build the movement against the war. Send checks to: Troops Out Now/IAC, 39 W. 14th St., New York, NY 10011.

I see nothing's changed in forty years, at least for members of the no-nothing left. This release could have been written in the 60's.

This is going to be a massive, global, awe-inspiring demonstration of solidarity that will send a message that the Fascists can't ignore. Unless it's raining, in which case most of these people will stay home smoking pot and watching cartoons.

Amin Al Husseini seen inspecting his Hanzar Division made up exclusively of Muslims, mostly from the Crotia/Bosnia/Serbia region. They actively lead the genocide against Serbs, Serbian Jews and Gypsies.

Amin Al Husseini meets with Adolf Hitler in November 1942, weeks before the decision to implement the Final Solution which sent Europe's Jews to the gas chamber. The Third Reich provided Amin Al Husseini with a salary and appointed him Head of the Hanzar SS Division. The Hanzar Division was made of Nazi Muslims and implemented the genocide of 250,000 Serbs, Gypsies and Jews during WWII.

Amin Al Husseini shown here on a Nazi poster recruiting fellow Muslims to join Hitler in the fight against the West and the Jews. His disciples today include Yasser Arafat, Saddam Hussein and the leaders of Hamas, Al Qeida and Islamic Jihad.

Amin Al Husseini, future President of the World Islamic Congress (1961) and founding father of the Arab League (1944) inspects his Muslim Nazi troops, the Hanzar Division. Amin Al Husseini making the traditional nazi salute.

Yasser Arafat became a disciple of Amin Al Husseini since the age of 17. Here: recent picture of Palestinian soldiers under the leadership of Arafat making the traditional Nazi salute.

WWII . Amin Al Husseini spent most of the war in Berlin. He was on Hitler's payroll as he lead the Hanzar Division of Muslim SS and played a lead-role in determining the fate of Europe's Jewish community.. From Berlin, Amin Al Husseini helped organize the transfer of Nazi officers into the Middle East

Amin Al Husseini inspecting his Nazi troops, the Hanzar. Here, he is showing a young Muslim recruit how to use his rifle. Amin Al Husseini himself had been an officer in the defeated Ottoman Islamic Empire of World War I.<

Boy, now that's a list of admirable folks....

The Left has finally condensed and taken shape, as the ENEMY WITHIN....

And, they're all DEMOCRATS! Shocked, Shocked, I'll bet.
