Spring Rising, 2015.

        Seeing as America is the biggest culprit in wars and foreign invasions, it is great to see this happening the US. What a pity it wasn't happening in every city across the planet. A bit late for that, but still time for a "Summer Rising".



Lafayette Park
(across from the White House).
Washington, D.C.
March on the Capitol to Demand:
END THE WARS: Iraq, Syria, Ukraine and beyond
NO SANCTIONS, NO NEW WARS:
Stop new threats of sanctions on Venezuela and Iran
BLACK AND BROWN LIVES MATTER; From Ferguson to Iraq, people of color are under attack by U.S. police and military. We demand an end to racist militarization and wars. We demand justice for the victims of racist brutality here and abroad. We also demand an end to the mass incarceration of millions of poor and working people, as well as freedom for all political prisoners including Mumia Abu Jamal, Leonard Peltier to Aafia Siddiqui and Rasmeh Odeh. 
RESISTANCE IS JUSTIFIED: From Palestine to Staten Island, Wisconsin to Ukraine, people are organizing to fight U.S. oppression and war. Its time to unite this resistance.
The international Action Center, FIST (Fight Imperialism, Stand Together), Solidarity Iran, and the United National Antiwar Coalition are amongst the growing coalition of organizations mobilizing for this major national anti-war action.
The International Action Center is organizing transportation from Baltimore, New York City, Durham, North Carolina, and Philadelphia to this important action. If you are interested in travelling with us to this important demonstration or learning more, contact Scott at thescott0730@gmail.com.
