Join Operation Ceasefire, a new coalition of concerned musicians, for a massive anti-war concert/rally at the Washington Monument on September 24th. This event will be a centerpiece of what is expected to be 4 days of enormous protests in nation's capital in support of a full withdrawal of U.S. forces from the quagmire in Iraq. The concert will bring together musical acts such as: Thievery Corporation, punk rock and independent musicians LeTigre, Bouncing Souls, Ted Leo & The Pharmacists; country music artist Steve Earle, rock and soul band the Bellrays; latin musicians Machetres, socially conscious hip-hop groups The Coup and Head-Roc; and even long time activists Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Jello Biafra and Greg Palast will be involved in this event!

With over 60% of the public currently opposed to the war in Iraq, this concert is a fun way we can all come together and demand that this Congress and this administration bring our troops home and start a well over due Ceasefire!

3. You have a link - I may want to post that in DC forum

Or you can :D All the DU activies are posted there.

Correct me if I'm wrong - they're playing after the protest right?

Trying to organize this entire day and I realize one thing - I'm not organized

4. Is there a time for when this will begin?

3. Operation Ceasefire Concert
"Operation Ceasefire," a huge free concert on the Washington Monument Grounds, is being organized for the late afternoon and evening of Saturday, September 24, after the massive anti-war march concludes. It will feature musical acts such as: Thievery Corporation, punk rock and independent musicians LeTigre, Bouncing Souls, and Ted Leo & The Pharmacists; country music artist Steve Earle, rock and soul band the Bellrays; Latin musicians MacheTres, and socially conscious hip-hop groups The Coup and Head-Roc. For more details, visit www.opceasefire.org.

I'm thinking what'll happen is the rally in the morning around 11:30, we start marching around 12:30 and that'll easily take 3 hours. Finally they head back to the Washington Monument for the concert.

I'm not sure what to do about Saturday night because I know plenty of DUers coming to DC will want to attend the concert. It might be better to move the party to the concert location and we'll just order pizzas to eat at a picnic.

Oh decisions decisions!

7. I'd like to see the concert, so I like the pizza picnic idea

No booze, though, right? :evilfrown:

8. Well I could always bring 'bottled water'

We use to take 'bottled water' into the Mann Music Theater when we went to concerts there (it's in Philly) but the 'bottled water' would actually be vodka

5. Didn't I just see a thread asking where Jello had been?

speak of the Jello...
