On this 22nd anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq, we will be protesting this continuing war as well as U.S. attacks against and military operations in Yemen, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Red Sea, Somalia, Niger — in particular, U.S. military aid and support for Israel’s destruction of Gaza and the Palestinian people — as well as saber-rattling against other countries in the region, notably Iran.

The demonstration will begin with a 12 noon vigil on the 14th Street steps in Union Square, followed by a 12:45 march to Washington Square Park to continue the vigil.
