NATIONAL
YOUTH AND STUDENT PEACE COALITION
Stop the War, at Home and Abroad!
April 20th March on Washington, D.C.
The White House promises a war without end. Under the
pretext of strengthening security, our democratic rights are being further
eroded, hundreds of people have been "disappeared" into jails and
prisons, and corporate interests are shamelessly trying to use this crisis to
their advantage. It is clear: unless we, the people of this country, rise up
and come together now, the future for us and for people around the world is
very bleak. But united, as we have done in the past, WE
CAN MAKE CHANGE! There is an
alternative! We must demand:
-
A U.S. foreign policy based upon social and economic justice, not military and corporate oppression.
-
An end to racial profiling and military recruitment
targeting youth of color and working class youth.
-
Government funding for programs to benefit the
economic victims of the 9-11 attacks and the recession.
-
An end to the degrading and secret imprisonment of
immigrants.
-
Increased funding for non-military-based financial
aid for education
-
Full disclosure of military contracts with
universities.
