ANSWER:Act Now to Stop War and End Racism
(aka International ANSWER)
One of the major "anti-war" fronts of the Stalinist Workers War PartyWWP from the early 1990's thru 2010, ANSWER International ANSWER sponsored many large protests over U.S. involvement in Iraq during both Gulf War I and Operation Iraqi Freedom, among other issues.
Its leadership has consisted almost solely of WWP or Youth Against War and Fascism members, the latter group having changed its name to National ??? Youth.
Over time, ANSWER has deleted from its website "www.internationalanswer.org" lists of speakers/participants and sponsors of its various protests but some have been saved and will be put on here at Keywiki.org.
