«·´¨******* Hitch a ride to Washington 24th of September! *******¨`·»

[mogster]

Hi folks!

Only about two weeks left to the March on Washington Peace Rally - it's the 24th to 26th of September.

It will be 3 days of massive action, music and politics - the prospect is good.



You can read more here:
http://www.unitedforpeace.org/

But one problem is getting there, and I've set up a board where those in NEED of transportation can come together with those with spare room in their car.

«·´¨***Hitch a ride to W!***¨`·»

http://www.iterapi.com/

"Hitch a ride to W - hitch a ride to Washington. This is the forum for people WHO HAVE additional space in their car, or those WHO NEED a ride to get there for the 24th of September 2005.
If you don't have a way of getting to Washington, you can do a search below for the name of your hometown or state, to see if any people are offering a ride in your area. Or you can go to our community and post a request for transport."

This will be an important event in keeping up the pressure on Bush, because so many people will demonstrate and unite close to the centre of power. It will be massive! :-)



"United for Peace and Justice is a coalition of more than 1300 local and national groups throughout the United States who have joined together to oppose our government's policy of permanent warfare and empire-building.

We welcome the participation of any and all national, regional and local groups who share our goals and wish to work with others."

Get a hold of that old adventure feeling, pack a bag and join in!

Program (from unitedforpeace.org):

Sat., 9/24
• Massive March & Rally
• Peace and Justice Festival
• Operation Ceasefire Concert
Sun., 9/25
• Interfaith Service
• Training for Grassroots Lobby Day
• Training for Mass Nonviolent Civil Disobedience
• Other Activities
Mon., 9/26
• Grassroots Lobby Day
• Mass Nonviolent Civil Disobedience

This is the official program - you can probably count on a number of unofficial events; concerts, art and performance.

People, it's time to show numbers. And to speak truth to power.

If you need any help in getting from A to W, use this board. Or if you want company while getting from A to W ;-)

Please keep this thread kicked!

1. KICK!

Wish I could be there but I'll be in Seattle at the rally here (Westlake Center at noon).

[mogster]

13. That's great!

Good to have local rallies too, no? :-)
People need to get together.

[PowerToThePeople]

51. I could make Sea-town rally.

Triing to get funds for round trip to DC, but have to get to Seatle for transfer. Gonna be an extra $400 or so to get to DC from there. If I can't get enough together for DC, then Seatle will work.

2. Good Show Mogster!

[mogster]

18. Thanks!

:-)

[rocktivity]

3. Is your pic from the march on DC

that was sponsored by some women's organization? It took place before the 2004 election. Anyway, someone at DU posted a MSM report that 100,000 people had shown up. I posted the pic and asked, "DOES THIS LOOK LIKE 100,000 PE0PLE TO YOU?"

:headbang:

[mogster]

5. Many more than 100.000 will show up for this, I think

And there are also local events :-)

The pic is from before the election, to be frank I'm not sure who organized it.

[titoresque]

4. Thanks this is great!

The only other person I know here who is going is flying.....I cant afford the ticlet but I can split gas! Thanks, I'll check it out.
:)

[mogster]

6. Great!

:bounce: :-)

[lonestarnot]

47. How much gas? Ben needs a ride!? My bud that helps me blog...

[lonestarnot]

48. Who would have KNOWN! Why didn't you tell me you were considering this?

TURKEY! This could be great! OMG work it out! D. has to come too! That would make three in one car... not toooo uncomfortable and he's an insured driver so could share driving!

[lonestarnot]

53. kick

[merh]

7. Hey ya mogster!

:hi: Wish I could join folks - I will be there in spirit and I do thank you for posting this! :hug:

This event is more important than ever! :patriot:

:loveya: Nominated!!! :loveya:

[mogster]

10. MERH!

Glad to see you! :bounce:

I have thought a lot about you - here's a big hug for each cheek :hug: :hug:

Thanks for the nomination! :loveya:

[merh]

12. Thanks so much for the hugs, it is so good to see you!

:hug: I so appreciate the hugs and support! :hug: :loveya:

[mogster]

16. OK. Then you get one more

:hug:

Now I know you have a lot to organize, but you tell me if there is anything I can do, yes? ;-)

Do you recognize the board, lol?

[kerry-is-my-prez]

8. I hope they also bring up the plight of the poor and black Americans

either that or we need to have a seperate protest for that.

[patrice]

11. It Is United for Peace and JUSTICE.

There are many standing Social Justice groups going, especially for the lobbying day on Monday.

The Quakers I know do as much, or *More* actually, for Economic Justice, than they do for Peace, which they are also very dedicated to.

[patrice]

9. I've got my bus half-filled.

Going around town today with my fliers. I need 26 more passengers. Wish me luck.

Hare Krsna! Hare Rama!

[mogster]

14. Good luck with the 26!

Here's a vigil picture to see you on your way :-)

[patrice]

15. Is that Camp Casey? Or the Peace House in Crawford?

We've been vigiling at a centrally located plaza here in K.C. for 3 years now. Our biggest group ever was on MLK weekend a couple of years ago, we had about 1200 people there.

[mogster]

17. It is from this vigil in California

Great pictures!

40. Thanks, dxstone!

It's always hopeful when inspired by Cindy :hi:

[stevietheman]

19. Hitching a ride -- great idea! But what about those of us who...

cannot afford Washington area accommodations?

[mogster]

20. Great idea! I'll set up a board for that as well

A meeting place for people who want to share living space as well. I guess there is a central camp area for those with tents, but there may be possibilities for elderly people to be accomodated elsewhere.

Thanks! :-)

[stevietheman]

22. Cool... b/c I'd really like to go, but I'm poor these days. n/t

For once I already have my arrangements made. See ya there!
