Que Se Vayan Todos
Indyradio.
December 19 and 20 mark the anniversary of the popular rebellion in
Argentina ousting former President Fernando De la Rua. Citizens will go to
the streets under the slogan "Que Se Vayan Todos," (to hell with all the
politicians). Massive mobilizations will take place in Buenos Aires,
throughout Argentina, and around the globe. Organizers of actions to
commemorate the anniversary maintain that actions will be peaceful and
non-violent. In the past weeks, mass media has been creating a climate of
tension and fear in preparation for the protests. In the face of this
atmosphere, piqueteros, popular assemblies, cacerolazos, alternative media,
and human rights activists will reclaim the streets for two days of
non-violent actions.
The Argentina and Rosario IMCs will be providing extensive coverage of the
actions as well as a live radio webcast (es). You can support this coverage

Coast to Coast, the Antiwar Marches On
From Harlem to Chicago to Denver to Hollywood, people in the US continue
to march against the war. Residents of Los Angeles are also mobilizing in
the face of a mental environment mixing messages between celebrity, the
Federal Communications Commission, Palestine, big-budget propaganda, and
peace activism. In Washington DC, the ladies of Code Pink visited the house
of US Secretery of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to sing "War to the World" and
other parody carols.
In the world of academia, the University of Michigan recently joined the
growing list of universities that have passed antiwar resolutions.
Meanwhile, graduate faculty and students at the New School in New York
City, together with faculty from other area schools, are calling for a
teaching moratorium on the two days following the beginning of any US-led
war on Iraq. The process of education about war continues, with teach-ins
gathering steam, ranging from North Carolina to Wisconsin to Idaho.
