End War

Demonstation to end US wars and occupations.

Even as combat troops are pulled out of Iraq, 50,000 troops remain along with a surge in private contractors (75,000 and counting), along with numerous military bases.  It is time to end the occupation.  And time to end the occupation of Afghanistan.  Time to end the drone attacks in Pakestan, Yemen and Somalia.  Time to end the funding of Israel's occupation of Palestine.  Bring all the troops home and stop funding wars and occupations.  Demonstration and street theater.
