Yesterday,
March 20, the Kensington Welfare Rights Union (KWRU) and the Poor People's
Economic Human Rights Campaign (PPEHRC) joined millions of people around
the world in protesting the war and occupation of Iraq on the first anniversary
of the beginning of the war. While memb
ers
of the PPEHRC marched across the country, KWRU/PPEHRC members participated
in the march of 100,000 people in New York City. The march was a protest
of Bush's policies that are killing the poor both in the United States and
around the world. Marching at the front of the march through downtown Manhattan,
KWRU marchers helped lead chants such as: Money for Housing (Health Care,
Jobs, Schools), Not for War."
Cheri
Honkala, the national coordinator of the Poor People's Economic Human
Rights Campaign (and founder of the KWRU) spoke at the rally: We the poor
of the United States and the world are NOT surviving the Bush Administration.
We are marching for all of the children of God, the children of Iraq,
of Afghanistan, of Haiti, of Venezuela, of Palestine, of the United States.
