Protests greet Bush's 'interim report'
Published Jul 19, 2007 8:37 AM
Chanting “Troops out now!” some 60 people filled a traffic
island next to New York’s Times Square Recruiting Station on July 16. The
quick-response demonstration was called by the Troops Out Now Coalition (TONC)
to protest President George W. Bush’s announcement that he intends to
keep the war and occupation of Iraq going. Chants also referred to U.S. threats
against Iran, Washington’s maneuvers against the Palestinian people, and
the growing crises at home in health care, jobs and racism. A broad spectrum of
anti-war groups was represented. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, TONC-LA joined with
many other groups to hold a news conference on the same issues. The groups plan
encampments Sept. 22-28 and mass mobilizations Sept. 29 in Washington, D.C.,
and Los Angeles, respectively.
