NEW YORK, March 18—The Young Socialists participated in a march here today to advance the demand for immediate and unconditional withdrawal of U.S. and all “coalition” troops from Iraq, Afghanistan, and all the theaters of Washington’s “war on terrorism.”
Many of the more than 6,000 people marching carried signs that read, “End the War! Bring the Troops Home Now.” The action was called by the United For Peace and Justice coalition. The YS contingent marched behind a banner that read, “Not one penny, not one person for Washington’s wars! Bring the troops home now!” Young socialists also took part in a larger peace march the previous day in Washington, D.C., (see front-page article) as well as in similar actions on the West Coast and other U.S. cities around the fourth anniversary of the imperialist invasion of Iraq. —ROSS HOGAN Related articles: U.S. officials: ‘long war’ lies ahead in Iraq D.C. marchers: ‘No to Iraq war!’ 6,000 march in New York to protest Iraq war Front page (for this issue) | Home | Text-version home |
