March 14-19, Veterans' and Survivors' March from Mobile to New Orleans

March 19, 2006, is the 3rd anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, Vietnam Veterans
Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, Gold Star Families for
Peace, and hurricane survivors' organizations are organizing a five-day
march along Gulf Coast Highway 90 to demand the immediate return of our
troops from Iraq, and to call for U.S. tax dollars to be spent on human
priorities and rebuilding of the devastated Gulf Coast, instead of the
illegal occupation of Iraq.

Every bomb dropped in Iraq Explodes from Mobile to New Orleans
Justice in Iraq and the Gulf Coast—bring the troops and survivors home NOW!

This historical event highlights the connections between the economic and human cost of war in the Middle East and the failure of our government to respond to human needs at home, especially the needs of poor people and people of color.

The government's negligent and often hostile response to hurricane survivors is mirrored by that same government's continued commitment to an illegal, immoral war fought at a staggering cost.

These are twin disasters, and the veterans of wars abroad along with the survivors of Katrina and Rita are joining together for this march and caravan to establish ties of material solidarity between those who oppose the war abroad and the social and economic costs for working people at home.
