Oct 27th National Mobilization to End the War in Iraq

[sandyd921]

"Momentum is building toward Saturday, October 27th -- from Orlando to Seattle, from New York to New Orleans. On that day, people from all walks of life will gather in 11 cities around the country in a national expression of the breadth and depth of antiwar sentiment in this nation. For many people, it will be their first step in transforming their antiwar feelings into antiwar action. Regional actions will enable much larger numbers of people to participate."

1. Thanks for posting this, Sandy.

Imho, local is more effective.

2. Yes, there's a real opportunity to turn out lots of people

with this approach. While I greatly admire the folks who are able to get to the DC protests (I've only managed one time myself) it's challenging for many. I'm hopeful that we'll see some very impressive numbers in the 11 cities! Hopefully massive enough for even the MSM to take notice!

3. Wow. The day after my birthday!

Cool. Gonna see if anyone in this area is going to Chicago and maybe hook up with them. Maybe a bus trip. Thanks for the info. As always, DUers are coming through.

4. Hi Bluz!

Great way to spend the day after your birthday! The Chicago site on the Oct 27th website has information about ride sharing and buses all around the region. I'll be marching right alongside you (even though I'll be in Boston)! :toast:

5. Get hooked up!

Join us at Road2DC and start a Group to coordinate a ride, or post a notice in the Forum that you are looking for a ride.

7. We'll be in Boston

Mr Tesha and I will be holding our usual signs,
starting at the Boston Common, then marching to Copley Square.

Let's get this one on the news!
Maybe if we also carry a sign that says "Go Sox"

8. Quite a bit less response to this than one might hope

on a board like this. The fact that the war continues: demystified. The fact that war with Iran looms: explained. When the people stay out of the way, the fascists will play.
