On January 18th, tens of thousands will come to San Francisco in response to a number of calls for protest against the Bush Regime and their plans for global warfare in Iraq, Palestine, Colombia, the Philippines and everywhere that U.S. military and economic terror exists.

The protest will be the largest San Francisco mobilization in recent history and comes at a critical time when Bush and Cheney are struggling to overcome global opposition to their wars.
