 On April 20, 100,000 people came into the streets of
 Washington DC, and 35,000 more in San Francisco, to say no
 to the U.S. government?s war drive - and to stand in
 solidarity with the people of Palestine who have been
heroically resisting aggression, occupation, racism and
 colonialism.  Millions have come into the streets all over
> the Arab world to show their support for this resistance.

  From Colombia and Argentina, to Venezuela and Cuba, to
 Korea and the Philippines?people on every continent are
 resisting the military and corporate domination being
 carried out through George Bush?s declared war on the
 world.

  From Palestine to Colombia to Korea to the Philippines to
 Washington DC - people are standing up to the U.S.
 government?s war drive.

 A.N.S.W.E.R. seeks to build the broadest coalition
 dedicated to creating a new movement that will show
 militant solidarity with all those struggling against the
