ACTION ALERT!

Pack the courtroom in defense of the right to protest! The March 19th
Chicago Coalition has been in a protracted permit fight with the City
of Chicago for the right to protest on the 2nd anniversary of the U.S.
invasion of Iraq. On March 20, 2003 the City arrested hundreds of
protesters and passersby, and since then has refused to grant
reasonable permit requests to protest the continuing occupation of
Iraq and these illegal arrests.

The Coalition will be in federal court Wednesday, March 9th for a
pivotal hearing to determine if we will get a permit for this year's
protest on the 2nd anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. The
hearing will be in Judge Hibler's courtroom, 219 S. Dearborn, Room
1225, at 10:30 am, Wednesday, March 9. Stand up and be counted in the
defense of civil liberties - help pack the courtroom on March 9th!
