FYI - A.N.S.W.E.R. Upcoming actions / Calendar of Events
From an email rec'd from ANSWER:

snip>

Organizers and activists around the country have already
begun mobilizing for the October 25 International March on
Washington to say "Bring the troops home now," "End the
occupation of Iraq" and "Money for jobs, education &
healthcare - Not war." In less than a week, over 750
organizations and individuals have endorsed the October 25
Call to Action. To read the call and to endorse, go to
http://www.internationalanswer.org/campaigns/o25/index.html

A.N.S.W.E.R. is also initiating, along with others,
activities timed to coincide with the third anniversary of
the second Palestinian Intifada between September 25 and
28.

In addition to these and other activities initiated by
A.N.S.W.E.R., the Coalition has endorsed and is supporting
several activities initiated by other organizations and
coalitions, which are taking place in July, August and
September. These actions include:

1) July 27: Mobilize for Peace in Korea
2) August 1-3: Speakout at STRATCOM - No new weapons of
mass destruction
3) August 23: 40th anniversary of the 1963 March on
Washington
4) September 13: Worldwide Day of Action Against Corporate
Globalization and War
5) September 13: Millions for Reparations

Please read the following email for more information about
these upcoming activities, and for reminders about
upcoming actions initiated by the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition,
which include:

1) September 25-28: International Days of Protest Against
Occupation and Empire
2) October 25: International March on the White House and
Pentagon
3) Summer 2004: Mass Actions at the Democratic National
Convention (July, Boston) and the Republican National
Convention (August/September, New York)

1. March to demand investigation?
See, the problem I have with the Oct. 25th march is that I don't think that sending the troops home right now is a responsible policy. Iraq right now is in anarchy, and since that is our fault, we should stay there as long as it takes to stabilize the country.

What we need is a march to demand an investigation into the intelligence surrounding the decision to go to war. Does anyone know if such an event is being planned or discussed? The time is ripe.
