Anti-Kriegs-Demo in New York

15,000 demonstrate in New York City on Sat., April 17 against U.S./NATO bombing of Yugoslavia

Demonstrations in 100+ other cities

Issue Emergency Call for NATIONAL MARCH ON THE PENTAGON June 5, 1999

Outraged over the NATO bombings of civilians on a tourist train and a refugee convoy in Kosovo and the ongoing bombing of Belgrade, tens of thousands of demonstrators throughout the U.S. and around the world marched on April 17 to demand "Stop the U.S./NATO bombing of Yugoslavia!" In NYC, 15,000 protesters marched past the missions, consulates, and government facilities of the United States, Germany, Britain, France, and Ital--all members of NATO.

At the event, anti-war organizers announced the formation of a national Emergency Mobilization to Stop the War, which has issued a call for a National March on the Pentagon on Sat., June 5, 1999. The mass protest will begin at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and march to the steps of the Pentagon in Washington, DC.

The growing list of endorsers for the event includes: former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark; Bishop Thomas Gumbleton; Rev. Lucius Walker, Jr, Exec. Dir., IFCO/Pastors for Peace; Edith Villastrigo, Leg. Dir., Women's Strike for Peace; Rev. Djokan Majstorovic, Serbian Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sava, NYC; Geronimo ji Jaga; Manning Marable; Brian Becker and Sara Flounders, Co-coordinators, International Action Center; and many others.

The call for the march on the Pentagon states in part: "Now, as the bombing and its terrible toll escalate, the threat of a U.S. invasion of Yugoslavia looms. A ground war will mean the deployment of hundreds of thousands of troops.

"Now is the time to act! We are urging you to join us in the newly formed Emergency Mobilization to Stop the War. Hundreds of thousands of us marched against the U.S. war on Iraq in 1990-91. We continued to work against the sanctions that have killed more than 1.5 million civilians in that country. Now, the Pentagon is embarked upon another bloody intervention, in violation of all international law, and against the interests of the people of the Balkans and the people of this country as well_We must act urgently to build a broad and deep movement that says `NO' to this madness."
