Anti-war contingent in women's march
With banners and signs reading "Bush says go
back, we say fight back--Defend reproductive rights" and "Stand
against sexism, racism, occupation and war--Fight for
liberation," an anti-war contingent initiated by the ANSWER
(Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) Coalition took part in
the April 25 March for Women's Lives. During the demonstration,
ANSWER volunteers also distributed over 30,000 flyers for the
June 5 March on the Pentagon initiated by the coalition.
In building for the contingent, ANSWER announced its support
for the April 25 demonstration and said, "The Bush
administration and the ultra-right are working to overturn the
gains the women's movement has made over the last 35 years.
Women have the right to control their own bodies and their
lives." Activists from Washington, D.C., Los Angeles, San
Francisco, San Diego, Philadelphia, New York City, Baltimore,
Yellow Springs, Ohio, and New Paltz, N.Y., joined the
contingent.
