Showdown in Texas
by AustinIMC Wednesday March 05, 2003 at 08:18 PM

Saturday, May 3-5, 2003 Take a Stand Against the Bush Agenda Demand TRUE Human Security

Showdown in Texas...
showdown.gif, image/gif, 240x180

March with thousand of people from across the nation and around the world to say No to War and Yes...Another World is Possible!

The Showdown rally is a national, multi-issue response to war and militarism straight from George W. Bush’s old stomping grounds in Austin, Texas. This rally is a demand for human security, not “homeland” security: funding for healthcare, housing, education and jobs; environmental sustainability; protection of civil liberties for citizens, immigrants and indigenous peoples, a moratorium on the death penalty, and an end to US military interventions at home and abroad.

The SHOWDOWN Rally is part of the MADE IN TEXAS Campaign, a project of the American Friends Service Committee which was launched to bring attention to the militarization of our world and a system that prioritizes corporate profits and war. We seek to transform that system into a culture that celebrates life and community by building a powerful coalition of organizations and independent businesses that will unite in opposition to the Bush agenda of war and militarism.

Why We Want and Need You to Come to Texas? It is no surprise that the corporate structure that supports and benefits from militarization and war is based in Texas – Lockheed Martin of Fort Worth, Enron in Houston, and in Austin the Computer Sciences Corporation just bought Dyncorp making it one of the largest corporate military contractors in the country. Texas was the recipient of the largest military contract in history, making war its biggest export. George W. Bush’s home state provides weapons, troops and fuel for the military. Corporate military contractors, weapons manufacturers, the countries largest military base and a network of oil refineries all flourish in this state known internationally for its poor record on human rights, workers rights, social justice and the environment. http://www.madeintexas.us


For more information email: showdown@...

The larger Showdown Coalition is exploring a nonviolent direct action at a military contractors on Monday, May 5. A youth encampment is being organized and nonviolence direct action prep and spokes council meeting are scheduled for Sunday, May 4.


2nd Annual Women and War Conference, Voices Rising in Resistance will be held May 1-4 at Stonehaven Ranch just outside of Austin. The conference is an experiment in creating alternative community where women can talk and live their politics. The purpose is to promote dialogue among truly diverse women regarding warfare, nationalism, territorialism, and ways it impacts our communities. Sponsored by the Women’s Nations Collective, a project of the American Friends Service Committee. Contact: womensnation@... or http://geocities.com/womensnation/
