YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

DemocracyNow.org - Rev. Jesse Jackson of the Rainbow PUSH coalition joined Iraq Veterans Against the War and Afghans For Peace at the head of Sunday's anti-NATO march in Chicago. "People are here are from around the world searching for alternatives for war," Rev. Jackson says. "Now [the U.S.] seeks to expand a long-term commitment to Afghanistan -- $2 billion to $4 billion a week while we're laying off transit workers, closing schools hospitals. We can't afford it -- it's a mission not worthy of the investment."
