National March and Rally--Washington DC--March 20, 2010

Out of Afghanistan and Iraq Now!

March 20 is the seventh anniversary of launching the "shock and awe" invasion of Iraq. One million or more Iraqis have died. Tens of thousands of U.S. troops have lost their lives or been maimed. People from all over the country are organizing to converge on Washington, D.C. to demand the immediate and unconditional withdrawal of all U.S. and NATO forces from Afghanistan and Iraq. On Saturday, March 20, there will be a massive national march and rally, with coinciding events in San Francisco and Los Angeles.

The national actions are initiated by a large number of organizations and prominent individuals. To see a list of the initiators, click this link Edorsers List

More Than a Million Dead in Iraq Due to U.S. Invasion

The most reliable source of casualty figures in Iraq reveals that many hundreds of thousands of people, by now certainly more than a million, have died as a direct result of our country's invasion and occupation of that far-off nation, which never threatened the United States in any way, manner or form.

Who We Are

The Rockland Coalition for Peace and Justice is an ad-hoc community group comprised of individuals from all walks of life.

The Coalition sponsors regular meetings and has participated in numerous progressive activities throughout Rockland and the Hudson Valley region.
