The devastation throughout the Gulf States after hurricane Katrina lays bare the real costs of endless war; it's essential that anti-war activists take this into account in the struggle in the period ahead. The new material produced by the Troops Out Now Coalition, the Nationwide Strike against Poverty, Racism and War Dec. 1-3, the Katrina Solidarity Network and the actions and plans of local activists will be organizing tools and living links between the war in Iraq and the racism, poverty and oppression here! The people are in motion. Shut the War Down! Billions for Relief, Not for War. See you in DC.
