Only a massive, united, inclusive and independent movement has the power to bring it into being.   WE DEMAND Bring U.S. Troops, Mercenaries and War Contractors Home Now: Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan! End the sanctions and stop the threats of war against the people of Iran, North Korea and Yemen. No to war and plunder of the people of Latin America and Africa! End U.S. Aid to Israel! End U.S. Support to the Israeli Occupation of Palestine and the Siege of Gaza!   WE DEMAND trillions for jobs, education, social services, an end to all foreclosures, quality single-payer healthcare for all, a massive conversion to sustainable and planet-saving energy systems and public transportation and reparations to the victims of U.S. terror at home and abroad.   WE DEMAND an end to FBI raids on antiwar, social justice, and international solidarity activists, an end to the racist persecution and prosecutions that ravage Muslim communities, an end to police terror in Black and Latino communities, full rights and legality for immigrants and an end to all efforts to repress and punish Wikileaks and its contributors and founders.   WE DEMAND the immediate end to torture, rendition, secret trials, drone bombings and death squads.   WE ARE DEDICATED  TO A WORLD OF PEACE AND JUSTICE.   All Out April 9, 2011   To add your group’s name to the endorser list, local, state or national, click here      Initial List of Endorsers (List in formation) * = For Identification only       UNAC –United National Antiwar Committee     Center for Constitutional Rights     Muslim Peace Coalition, USA     Voices for Creative Nonviolence     Veterans for Peace     International Action Center     Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom     Fellowship of Reconciliation     Black Agenda Report     National Assembly to End U.S. Wars and Occupations     World Can’t Wait     Campaign for Peace and Democracy     Project Salam     Canadian Peace Alliance     BAUAN USA     Lynne Stewart Defense Committee    Office of the Americas     Tariq Ali     Dr. Margaret Flowers  PNHP *     Ramsey Clark Ahmed Shawk, editor, International Socialist Review Al-Awda American Iranian Friendship Committee Ana Edwards begin_of_the_skype_highlighting     end_of_the_skype_highlighting, Chair, Sacred Ground Historical Reclamation Project - Richmond, Va.
