Watch video on YouTube here: Americans United Against Wars on a Day of Peace and Solidarity

Over a thousand of Americans stopped by the Herald Square in New York City on March 13, 2016, where a “Day of Peace and Solidarity” took place, gathering activists from New York, New Jersey, Illinois and other states. People came together to oppose the racial discrimination, sham of elections, government corruption, and the foreign policies of the United States and the American Imperialism as the root cause of all domestic issues and foreign proxy wars. Speakers have also talked against US military operations all over the world and have called for reducing the number of military bases and made demands to US Government to stop interfering in the internal affairs of other countries. Protesters expressed the lack of trust in the presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, whose foundation is believed to have a backing of major Transnational Corporations and financial institutions. Some expressed the fears that if Clinton were to become the President of the United States, she might essentially work on policies for the benefit of those corporations that donated money for her campaign and will disregard the needs of an average American that wants to live in peace, have access to affordable medical care, have a job and earn fair wages for his work. Some of the banners stated “Hillary Clinton – WALL st Candidate!”, hinting that Hillary Clinton is the candidate of the “Fat Cats of Wall Street” that correspond to the 1% of “rich and powerful” who don’t listen to the needs of 99% of US population. Since one of the main benefactors of Clinton’s presidential campaign is the Military Industrial Complex, activists expressed no hopes for the World Peace in case she gets elected. Some held the signs: “Stop Hillary! Save Democracy!” and “Stop Corruption! Stop Hillary!” http://ift.tt/1pNDsDU
