>
> Join us on April 20th to demand:
>
> * A U.S. foreign policy based upon social and economic
> justice, not military and corporate oppression.
>
> * An end to racial profiling and military recruitment
> targeting youth of color and working class youth.
>
> * Government funding for programs to benefit the economic
> victims of the 9-11 attacks and the recession.
>
> * An end to the degrading and secret imprisonment of
> immigrants.
>
> * Increased funding for non-military-based financial aid
> for education.
>
> * Full disclosure of military contracts with universities.
>
> Preparatory events will be held in various cities prior to
> April 20th. Trainings and other activities will take place
> that weekend, including the Colombia Mobilization rally on
> April 21 and lobbying.

> Nonviolence Guidelines
>
> In an attempt to create a "safer space" for all people who
> want to march for Peace and Justice, we have applied for and
> received a permit. We ask people who plan on joining us to
> adhere to the following Nonviolence Guidelines for the
> March.
>
> We will not initiate violence against any living thing.
>
> We will not bring "illegal drugs" or alcohol.
>
> We will carry no weapons.
>
> We recognize that people of color, queers, and transgender
> people are at a much greater risk of police harassment,
> abuse, and violence. Because we also recognize that property
> destruction increases this risk, we strongly discourage the
> use of such tactics at our event/march.
>
> The April 20th Mobilization supports the actions and events
> that will also be occurring throughout the weekend,
> including those organized by the Mobilization for Global
> Justice and the National Mobilization on Colombia. We
> encourage people coming for the April 20th March to support
> these efforts as well.
