STOP the attack on Gaza:
Many Thousands March for Gaza -- as
Invasion Begins
Largest protest in support of Palestinians ever in
NYC
(January 4, 2009) Saturday saw sizable protests throughout
the world against the bombing and invasion of Gaza. -- As
the Israeli military began a massive ground invasion of Gaza,
including infantry, tanks, and artillery, hundreds of thousands
of people were in the streets around the world chanting "Free,
Free Palestine!"
Possibly the largest protest took place in New York City
where a huge rally in Times Square stretched from 42nd Street
south to 36th Street, along 7th Ave. Buses came from throughout
the region. Crowd estimates ranged from 25,000 and 30,000.
Just before the demonstration started the announcement of
the Israeli invasion came over the news wires. An angry march
through midtown Manhattan, shut down 42nd St, stalled mid-town
traffic and ended at the Israeli Mission to the U.N. At the
closing rally, the crowd stretched from 48th to 42nd Street,
along 2nd Ave. full report here

Bail
Out the Riders - Not the Banks!
MTA:
No Fare Hike - No Service
Cuts - No Layoffs!

The Banks and Billionaire Investors Have Caused The Financial
Meltdown and Are Being Bailed Out With Our Tax Money--
Let Them -- Not Riders -- Bail Out the MTA!
Thursday, November 20 – 8:30
am
Press Conference in front of MTA headquarters
347 Madison Avenue between 44th and 45th
The fare hikes and cuts in jobs and services now planned
by the MTA are being caused by the very banks and Wall Street
firms who are being bailed out, recapitalized and re-liquidized
to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars.
Today’s New York Times states that the MTA’s
debt service for the coming year will be $1.5 billion –
and its projected budget shortfall, the stated reason for
the fare hikes and service cuts, is $1.2 billion. That means
all of the budget cuts are going to service the bank’s
debt – most of it interest or heightened fees associated
with the failures of criminal Wall Street firms like AIG.
Much of the MTA's current financial crisis is due to a complex
kickback scheme, where the MTA sold rail cars and other equipment
to banks and then leased them back at a discount with financing
provided by the corrupt AIG.
Meanwhile, AIG's bailout from the treasury went from $85
billion to $150 billion, even as its executives have been
caught blowing money on lavish retreats.
The MTA should do what homeowners are forced to do: renegotiate
the terms of its loans -- not force riders to help them pay
the billionaire investors, many of whom are being given hundreds
of billions of dollars by the government!
The MTA's website has a page listing its investors: JP Morgan
Chase, Bank of America, DEPFA, etc. -- it's a who's who of
banks that are the recipients of hundreds of billions in bailout
largesse.
Subway riders will gather Thursday (11/20) morning to reject
what amounts to a pay cut and hardship forced on people when
they can least afford it, and demand that the MTA resolve
its crisis with the banks -- not on the backs of its riders! |
If
you believe that the antiwar movement, should also
fight racism here in the U.S.
