All out for April 25 antiwar protests!
& the Caribbean CENS United States policy in Central America is "immoral, illegal and inconsistent with fundamental American values." So say various members of the Senate. But despite this "outrage," the Senate voted last month to release the final $40 million installment of aid to the contras.
The Contragate scandal has only served as a temporary obstacle in the ruling class' the cover-upscheme to overturn the Nicaraguan govern -ment. Certainly they are not about to let a little "bad PR" cramp their style.
Never mind that the overwhelming majority of the population believes that all contra aid should be stopped. Never mind that 53 percent of the American people don't believe a word the president is saying. For the U.S. government, the Nicaraguan Revolution and the example that it sets for working people everywhere must be stopped at all costs.
The need to get out the true antiwar sentiment of the American people is now more urgent than ever. The April 25 mass demonstrations in Washington, D.C., and San Francisco will be a prime opportunity for all of us to do just that. rol* The march and rally in Washington, single D.C., will demand an end to U.S. intervention in Central America and an end to U.S. support to apartheid in South Africa. Oyer 112 cities are already actively building the event.
The call for the Washington demon -stration was issued by 24 international union presidents and 50 religious leaders. Never in U.S. history have so many labor otticials come out in opposition to the interventionist policies of this government.
