UFPJ protest tomorrow re: NO


Picket at the Federal Building
Friday, Sept. 9
5:30 – 6:30 p.m.
90 Church Street, between Vesey and Barclay Streets
(2,3,4,5,6,A,C,J,M,Z,R,W)

Katrina and the devastation facing the people in the Gulf Coast region
have highlighted the racial divisions and poverty which have grown under
the Bush administration. While Bush pursues war in Iraq, the
administration shirks its responsibilities to the people here at home.

We, who believe in peace and justice around the world, must raise our
voices now to demand justice for the peoples of New Orleans and the Gulf
Coast.

We must turn our grief, outrage and righteous indignation at the brutal
racist inhumanity of the Bush administration into a powerful movement to
demand that the Bush administration take immediate action to provide all
the resources necessary for a full and complete recovery of the
communities in the region.

And we must demand that the people who live there have decision-
making power in the relief and rebuilding process. The government must
be held accountable.

The Bush administration spends five billion dollars a month to wage an
immoral war in Iraq while our families and communities suffer years of
neglect.

Join us on Friday, Sept 9 at the Federal Building at 90 Church Street from 5:30-6:30 PM to demand the comprehensive assistance that only the government can give to the Hurricane victims. We must end the immoral war in Iraq as a
big step towards meeting this urgent crisis.

Suheir Hammad, poet (from Def Poetry Jam), will participate in this picket and then is hosting a benefit for hurricane victims at Alwan for the Arts, 16 Beaver Street, from 6:30 – 11:00 p.m.

1. please tell them about www.bushville.org
9/11 March to Bushville, DC

On 9/11 survivors of Katrina will commit an act of Nonviolent Civil Disobedience by setting up an illegal camp on the Washington, DC Mall. Bushville, DC will stay there as long as it takes to get answers and change.

Visit http://www.bushville.org and spread the word.

We will camp on Bush's doorstep and make him face us every day until he is driven from power.

Join the March to Bushville, DC. If you can't make it on 9/11 visit us on 9/24.
