Americans to March with Iraqis
in Amsterdam Peace Rally
U.S. and Iraqi citizens living in the Netherlands will march together on February 15 in Amsterdam to protest a potential U.S.-led war against Iraq.
"We refuse to be enemies," said Sheila Gogol, spokesperson for Americans Against War in Iraq.
AAWI is a group of concerned U.S. expatriates in Holland who have come together to speak out against the increasing threat of a pre-emptive war waged against the Iraqi people. The group represents a broad spectrum of different ages, backgrounds, professions, faiths and political affiliations.
The joint American-Iraqi march is part of a large anti-war rally beginning at 1:00PM, Saturday, February 15, on the Dam in Amsterdam.
The Amsterdam rally is part of a worldwide day of opposition to war against Iraq. Simultaneous rallies will take place in New York and more than 50 cities around the globe. It has been reported that this may be the largest ever mobilization against war. Organizers estimate that 10 million people around the world could take part.
On Friday, February 14, AAWI and their Iraqi counterparts will hold a joint press conference to inform the media and answer questions about their decision to march together.
