An e-mail I just received about a protest being planned in DC |
|
I just cut and pasted it, which is why it's not in perfect paragraph form.
WCW actions across the country were impressive...but only the beginning! If you haven't already done so, go to www.worldcantwait.org and check out all the reports (including video). And find out what planned next. In a nutshell it's this: 1) In late January (date to be announced) one hour before resident Bush gives his State of the Union (or is it State of Emergency?) address, crowds around the country will gather to drown him out with music and noise of all sorts. (One suggested venue: the local Fox station that will broadcast the speach.) 2) The following Saturday, a massive demo at the White House in Washington. Organizers are already on the ground in DC. The main task for us today is fundraising. $200,000 is needed for a pull page ad in the New York Times (I JUST HEARD THAT IT'S IN TODAY'S ISSUE, 12/12/05!) and organizing expenses (office and staff, web site, DC office). After talking to the NY office of WCW and to Craig in Ft. Lauderdale (who did so much to build Nov.2 but took a big hit from Wilma), I have volunteered to coordinate South Florida fundraising. But the premise of Nov.2 was "drivers wanted" (everyone an organizer) so there's plenty for everyone to do. If you're seriously down with the mission of driving out the Bush regime donate (or donate again) yourself. But more important: you all know others who agree with this goal and will support a serious effort to achieve it. Talk to them - friends, relatives, coworkers, teachers, etc. Give then a copy of the mission statement (the original call) or the NY Times ad (both downloadable). There's lots of good ideas on the website. Whatever you collect - and the sooner the better - you can send yourself to WCW in NYC. Or I can pool it and send it. Either way, please reply to this message re fundraising or anything else about WCW. And think about a meeting soon to move this thing forward. When? Where? What's good for you?
In resistance,
