http://www.marchonrnc.orgWe know that real change – whether we’re talking about ending the illegal occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, preventing a new war against Iran, opposing U.S./NATO war threats, standing in solidarity with Palestine and Venezuela and with immigrant workers here, stopping police brutality, and winning health care, affordable housing, food and other human needs – will only come through grass roots mobilization on the streets.Every four years, thousands of people take to the streets outside the conventions, and this summer, the eyes of the global media will be on Denver (August 24-28) and St. Paul (September 1-4). TONC will be there to make sure the issues that matter to poor and working people are raised. A vast majority of people in the U.S. (and

Help TONC send youth activists to Denver and St. Paularound the world) oppose the ongoing occupations of Iraq as well as Afghanistan and oppose a U.S. attack on Iran. Everyone is being impacted by the rising cost of gasoline, while oil companies make record profits. More and more people are without healthcare, as jobs are disappearing and the foreclosure and eviction crisis continues to grow. Racist police brutality and immigrant bashing are on the rise along with ongoing sexism and homophobia. Working and poor people need to set an agenda that meets our needs, not the needs of Wall Street and corporate lobbyists.
