	"Welcome.  We are here today to recognize the beginning of the 9th year of the US war and occupation of Afghanistan, a war that has spread into Pakistan.  We are here to protest what was called Bush's war, and now is called Obama's war, a war which is really just a bipartisan effort on behalf of US imperialism.  We demand an end to this war and occupation, now, and it is the role of mass movements like this to rise up against imperialist aggression.  It is imperative that we express solidarity with the masses of Afghanistan, and Pakistan also, millions of whom have been displaced, thousands of whom have been killed and wounded.  We must join with our Afghan brothers and sisters in opposing this war and occupation through our independent mobilization, and this is why we are here today.

	We will start with 4-5 speeches, all of which will be limited to two minutes.  We will march down Broadway to Jackson, down to first, and up first to Westlake Center.  At the end of the march, at Westlake, there will be time for more speeches, again limited to two minutes.
