Iintend to answer the "Call to March" with the thousands of other peace activists on Saturday in downtown Newark. The march is a demand to end the illegal U.S. war on Iraq and redirect the billions of war dollars to much-needed domestic and peace initiatives, including adequate rehabilitation of the thousands of returning wounded troops.

I am marching to demand a peace, justice and collaboration process for world negotiation rather than our failed military impositions. I am marching for the restitution of our civil liberties and rights, increasingly curtailed in the "War on Terror" paradigm of the current government. I am marching for the rights of everyone everywhere to be free from official persecution when they disagree with the current government mantra. I am marching to shut down the gun supply to both our international and domestic war zones. I am marching to stop the continuing pollution of communities of color and dispossessed with the toxic sludge of our war and energy machines. I am marching for jobs and a living wage, not indentured servitude. I am marching to demand accountability of our president and Congress in the wake of incompetence in the face of national disasters and culpability in the destruction of our Constitution. We will, all of us, march for many reasons. Join us if you also have had enough. For more information about the march, visit www.peaceandjusticecoalition.org. Anne Barron HIGHLAND PARK
