House:
Bus drop-off, logistics & more*
APRIL 20 @ 11 am
Gather at the WHITE HOUSE
(on the Ellipse, south side of the White House, 16th
St. and Constitution NW)
It is clear from the intensifying mobilization and
support for the Palestinian people battling the
U.S.-backed Israeli aggression that the April 20
demonstration at the White House will be attended by
tens of thousands of people. The main demands at
the White House demonstration will be “FREE
PALESTINE!
No new war on Iraq!”, “Stop the attacks on Arab and
Muslim people! Defend civil liberties!”, and “Money
for Jobs, Education, Healthcare and Housing, Not War!”
NEW FLYER FOR APRIL 20!
“Stop the Bush/Sharon War Against Palestine: April
20 March on the White House”
