Antiwar Protest in Fayetteville
Anti-War Rally in DC Feb. 19. From CovertAction

Many people traveled long distances to attend
the rally. As an example, Abel Tomlinson, 42, and Edward J. Hejtmanek, 73, drove eighteen hours from Fayetteville,
Arkansas, telling CovertAction Magazine that they were
concerned that the proxy war with Russia could soon become a nuclear war and
that they wanted to support the demonstrators.
From Abel Tomlinson: Here are 3 sets of photos Pauline & I took of the
event, which shows what most of the people there represented:

Sat. March 18 -- National March on
Washington – at the White House No
War in Ukraine! No to NATO! No Weapons, No Money for the Ukraine War https://nepajac.org/UNAC_022423.html Coinciding with the
20th anniversary weekend of the criminal U.S.-invasion of Iraq, a major set
of actions including a demonstration at the White House in Washington, D.C.
on Saturday March 18 demanding "Peace in Ukraine – Say NO to Endless
U.S. Wars” and “Fund People's Needs, Not the War Machine.”… The Biden
administration is determined to escalate the Ukraine war. The real goal of
the massive arming and training of Ukrainian forces has nothing to do with
the interests of Ukrainian, Russian or American people. The aim instead is to
“weaken Russia” as stated by the U.S. Secretary of Defense himself, even at
the risk of a catastrophic nuclear war that could end life on Earth. A U.S.
General commanding 50,000 troops in the Pacific also issued a letter to his
sub-commanders in recent days informing them that he believes that the United
States will be at war with China within two years. The danger of global war
is growing! The people must act! The demonstration will
make connections between the human and financial toll of U.S. militarism at
home and abroad. Key demands include: · Peace in Ukraine - No weapons, no money
for the Ukraine War · Abolish NATO – End U.S. militarism &
sanctions! · Fund people’s needs, not the war
machine! · No war with China! · End U.S. aid to racist apartheid Israel! · Fight racism & bigotry not war! · U.S. hands off Haiti! · End AFRICOM! Endorsers: United
