Progressive Rally in D.C. this Fall?

[jtown1123]

I feel like I heard of some rally in October in D.C.

Does this sound familiar to anyone or does anyone know who's sponsoring it?

Much appreciated.

8. Thank you! Here's link to the pledge and more info.......

http://october2011.org/statement

Take the pledge and sign up to attend here. Let America know you are coming to make history and a new world!

"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that criminal occupation goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in Washington, D.C., with others on that day with the intention of making it our Tahrir Square, Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY resist the corporate machine to demand that our resources are invested in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and exploitation. We can do this together. We will be the beginning ."

I can't be there, but I sure will be in spirit. We need an American spring (even if it's in the fall).

14. You can take the pledge (see Reply 8), donate, organize a local event in your area (or

see if anyone else in your area is already on it), help get the word out, etc.

Lots of things to do, other than show up on Washington, D.C.

10. Thanks for reminding everyone of this, jtown1123. "Stop The Machine"

is the rallying cry for this occupation of D.C. by Americans who are fed up with corporate control of our government.

We need every person who can be there to attend. Even if it's only for one day, please try to make it.

Spread the Word!!! It's only three weeks away.

REC.

on October 7.

15. I read Oct 6 and Oct 7. This is a problem.

Coordinate the damned thing to the same day in multiple cities. You will get more media attention. I am a moderate, Obama supporter, I will have other things to do on whatever day you choose.
