AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL!!

Unity and solidarity in the face of government repression and right wing threats is our greatest strength and our best defense..

The ANSWER Coalition has put out an alert regarding the heavy fines in Washington DC for postering and the threats by right-wing and fascist organizations against anti-war march scheduled for Sept 15 and other actions taking place in DC. These threats are not only a danger to ANSWER Coalition but to the whole progressive movement.

Troops Out Now, who is organizing a major March in DC on Saturday, September 29 and a week-long Encampment in front of Congress from Sept 22 to 29, calls upon the movement to take the threats on the ANSWER Coalition seriously and to respond with demands to end to the fines, harassment and repression on the anti-war movement.

ANSWER in their e-mails and on their web site: www.answercoalition.org has stated that: “the best way to take action is to call the Director of Department of Public Works, William O. Howland, Jr. at 202-673-6833, and the Mayor of DC, Adrian Fenty, at 202-724-8876

They suggests saying something along the lines of: "I am writing to protest the fines levied against the ANSWER Coalition for putting up posters for the September 15th March on Washington. The government does not fine politicians who put up campaign posters, or commercial and business interests that plaster Washington, DC with posters. It is outrageous that the city, in concert with FOXNews, are attempting to suppress the antiwar movement. Stop the harassment. Stop the fines."
