 \n\nParking: It is extremely difficult to park in this area and many meters 
 are only a half or one hour long. If you can take public transportation, 
 do. If public transit is not possible, you could park somewhere away from 
 downtown and take BART or MUNI. Some of the less expensive parking is at 
 the giant parking garage on the south side of Mission St between 4th and 
 5th Sts. You can park there all day. It is eight blocks from Justin Herman 
 Plaza. \n\nDirect Action: We are planning direct action at the Friday Nov. 
 9th at PG&E. Most of the Festival is planned for people who do not wish to 
 risk arrest, although we can never plan for the behavior of the police. 
 There will be an action spokescouncil on Thursday, Nov 8 from 6-9pm are the 
 Redstone Bldg, 1st floor 2940 16th @Capp Street in San Francisco. Those 
 interested in direct action are asked to join or form an affinity group. 
 This action was organized to support the local communities of 
 Bayview-Hunters Point and Midway Village as we oppose the WTO. All 
 participants are asked to plan actions that will further the ongoing 
 struggles of these communities. \n\nLegal: Midnight Special will provide 
 some legal support and legal observers and the National Lawyers Guild will 
 have attorneys available to help until people are released. We will have a 
 legal support phone # at the action. People planning to participate in 
 direct action are asked to join or form an affinity group that can support 
 them through the legal process. \n\nVolunteer: To volunteer on the day of 
 the actions, arrive at the designated location at 10:30am. We need 
 volunteers to help carry art, images, murals and puppets, to help with 
 traffic, leafleting the public, take sign ups for future work and more. 
 \n\nWe need volunteers to help get out postcards and posters that URGENTLY 
 need to get out into windows and on the street. You can pick up posters at 
 Project Underground at 1916A Martin Luther King Jr. Way in Berkeley. Or in 
 San Francisco pick up materials at JustAct in San Francisco (333 Valencia
