There will be a march and rally on Sunday, July 28 primarily focusing on the possibility of US military intervention in Iran and Venezuela, but also calling attention to the use of sanctions as economic war.

Other points agreed on by event organizers are:

o Demilitarize America- war only serves the 1%

o No occupation, No coup, No media lies!

o Stop the war on the border

o Money for people and the planet, not war!
