New York, NY. The New School chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) is joining with community organizations from around the country to build the Iraq Moratorium and is calling for students, workers, and faculty to participate in the first of a series of escalating monthly actions to end the occupation of Iraq. The first demonstration will be held on Friday, September 21, 2007. Participants are asked to assemble at 12:00 p.m. at the New School for Social Research on 65 5th Avenue (between 13th and 14th Streets) in lower Manhattan. Once assembled, participants will march north up 5th Avenue to the Empire State Building (350 5th Ave.) to demonstrate outside the office of Lockheed Martin, a corporation that in 2005 reaped more than $19.4 billion in military contracts from war and occupation in Iraq and Afghanistan.
