With the one-year anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks still in the nation's collective mind, a coalition of groups representing Arabs, Latinos, African Americans and Asian Americans will march on the Justice Department to denounce some of the Bush administrations actions during its war on terrorism.

The Sept. 13 protest is aimed at bringing attention to the way the Bush administration has, according to the groups, sacrificed the civil liberties of some citizens in order to uncover terrorist cells in the United States.

Organized by the Rev. Jesse Jackson's Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, the 'coalition of conscience' will protest the government's detention, without charges, of people suspected of working with terrorist groups.

Jim Zogby of the Arab-American Institute said the government is unfairly targeting immigrants of all ethnic backgrounds. 'The process is an assault on their constitutional rights to due process and not about protecting the nation from future attacks,' he said. 'This is not about security, this is about immigrants' rights.'

Of the 700 foreign nationals picked up after Sept. 11, 100 were still in custody as of late May, although none have faced charges, according to the Justice Department.

'Since President Bush took office in January, 2001, his administration, led by Attorney General John Ashcroft, has had a closed-door policy on these important issues and has not met with the leading organizations to discuss these important issues in detail and face-to-face,' Jackson said.

'With our march, we plan to symbolically pin all the closed-door issues of civil rights, women's rights, labor and workers' rights, as well as immigrants' rights on the door of justice at the U.S. Department of Justice,' he said.

The National Asian Pacific Legal Consortium, the National Organization for Women, the League of United Latin American Citizens and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People are among the groups joining Jackson.

The March to Justice will begin on Friday, Sept. 13 at Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C.
