 YOUTH AND STUDENT ACTION AGAINST WAR AND RACISM!
 January 18-19 in Washington D.C.
 
 Below you will find information about a planning meeting, 
 march and rally taking place January 18 & 19 in 
 conjunction with the National March on Washington DC to 
 Stop the War on Iraq.

 Sunday, January 19
 Youth and Student Rally & March
 
 -Gather at 11 am at the Dept of In-Justice (Pennsylvania 
 Ave. between 9th and 10th NW)
 -March to the Presidential Palace (White House) for a 
 Youth & Student Weapons Inspection
 
 Gather at 11am at the Department of In-Justice 
 (Pennsylvania Ave. between 9th and 10th NW) to protest the 
 attacks against the Arab and Muslim communities ? 
 including the recent mass arrests in California.  Many of 
these violations are taking place within our own school as 
 more and more universities are complying with FBI and INS 
 efforts to gather information, interrogate, detain and 
 deport thousands of people.
 
 March to the Presidential Palace (White House) for a Youth 
 and Student Weapons Inspection.  If George Bush believes 
 that the UN weapons inspectors have the right to look into 
 every building in Iraq, then we should have a right to 
 check out his "Presidential Palace."  It's our schools 
 that have gone without funding and it's our social 
 programs that have been cut to pay for the U.S. 
 government's weapons of mass destruction. A new war in 
 Iraq is estimated to cost almost $2,000,000,000,000 ($2 
 trillion, according to a recent American Academy of Arts 
 and Sciences study). Let's see if Bush provides full and 
 complete disclosure!
 
 JOIN US TO SAY:
 No War on Iraq!
 Disarm the Pentagon!
 Stop the attacks on the Muslim and Arab communities!
 SMASH War & Racism!

 Saturday, January 18
 Youth & Student Planning Meeting
 
 6 pm
 @ the Church of the Brethren
 (4th St. and North Carolina Ave. SE)
 *walking distance from the demonstration*
 (snacks will be provided)
 
Come to a youth & student meeting to discuss the January 
 19th actions and future actions against war and racism.
 
 As you know tens of thousands of people will be converging 
 in Washington D.C. for the weekend of January 18th to take 
 a stand against War and Racism. On the buses traveling 
 from all over the country will be anti-war activists, 
 labor unionists, members of various religious communities, 
 long time fighters for civil rights and women's rights as 
 well as those who have never before been to a 
 demonstration. Undoubtedly the majority of these diverse 
 participants will be students and young people. In 
 addition to playing a vital role in the anti-war movement, 
 the January 18-19 weekend presents an opportunity for us 
 to take action and develop plans for future action.
 
 Be a part of Youth and Student A.N.S.W.E.R. and, while you 
 work to stop a war against Iraq, build a movement that 
 upholds the right of self-determination for the people of 
 the world and stands in solidarity with the struggles 
 across the Middle East, Africa, Asia and Latin America 
 against U.S. intervention and neo-colonial domination. 
  Help build a student movement that fights racism, police 
 brutality, attacks on education, and all manifestations of 
 oppression and exploitation.  We are fighting for a 
 different society, one that values human needs over 
 profit.
