Resolution of San Francisco Labor Council

Endorse March 20 Actions and Bring the Troops Home Now!

Whereas, the Bush Administration, backed by most of Congress, are increasingly isolated in their continued pursuit of conquest and corporate profiteering in Iraq and domination of the Middle East — a policy with disastrous consequences for American soldiers, Iraqis and working people everywhere;

Whereas, people are mobilizing on a global scale to demand an end to the occupation, with a worldwide day of action set for March 20, 2004, the first anniversary of the invasion of Iraq;

Therefore be it Resolved, that the San Francisco Labor Council, AFL-CIO, endorse and encourage affiliated labor organizations to field large labor contingents in the demonstrations on Saturday, March 20, 2004 in San Francisco, Washington, D.C., New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and around the world, behind the banner: "Bring the Troops Home Now! End the Occupation of Iraq! Money for Jobs, Education, Health Care and Housing, not for war and occupation!"

— Adopted unanimously by the San Francisco Labor Council, December 8, 2003
