400+ PROTESTERS IN HOLLYWOOD SAY "BRING THE TROOPS HOME NOW!"

A.N.S.W.E.R. Convergence for Peace in Hollywood a Success



On Sat, Dec 18, A.N.S.W.E.R. organized a spirited protest

vigil at the corner of Hollywood and Highland in Los Angeles.

More than 400 demonstrators came out to support the holiday

message: "Bring the Troops Home Now!"



Placards, banners, pictures of Iraqi children and candles

lined the streets while protesters waved their fists in the

air and chanted "End the Occupation Now!" and other militant

slogans throughout the night.



Veterans, military families, political poets, singers and

activists came out to send a strong anti-war message to Bush

and the ruling elite. Hundreds of cars honked in solidarity

with the protesters and nearly all holiday shoppers and

passers-by showed support while some even joined the vigil.



The event received significant media coverage as well. It

was covered by KTLA, ABC, Fox News, KFWB, KPFK and other

radio and print media.



The protest highlighted the need to mobilize a united front

against war, occupation, racism, sexism and bigotry for the

upcoming Jan 20 Counter-Inaugural demonstration in Westwood.



Get involved with A.N.S.W.E.R. and help build Jan 20. The

people united will never be defeated!

The Battle of Algiers was privately screened in August

what resistance against colonial occupation looks like.

"If you want to understand what's happening right now

in Iraq, I recommend the Battle of Algiers." Directed

by Gillo Pontecorvo.
