DESCRIPTION:Two Years Since Hurricane Katrina:\nThe Bush Regime’s Crimes Will Not Be 
 Forgotten!\n\nProtest - Orange Friday - this Friday afternoon - August 
 31!\n3:00 PM meet up and speak out at the crossroads of 14th Street & 
 Broadway in downtown Oakland\n4:30 PM we will march to the FEMA building at 
 11th Street & Broadway\nBring musical instruments, especially if you play 
 New Orleans jazz (the music played during traditional New Orleans funeral 
 processions). And bring drums. This will be a powerful, all-ages, lively 
 march in the festive spirit of New Orleans. \n\nWorld Can't Wait especially 
 welcomes Katrina survivors -- come tell your truth to the people! 
 Organizations, students, communities of faith, join us to call out the 
 crimes of the Bush regime; before, during and after Katrina, and demand 
 that the regime be held accountable for these towering crimes. And anyone 
 else, burning with something to say about this outrageous injustice – one 
 that still continues in the ongoing ethnic cleansing of New Orleans – you 
 too are most welcome to speak out.\n\nTwo years - since the names Katrina 
 and Lower Ninth Ward seared into the world’s vocabulary, along with 
 Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, and Falluja, as one of the monstrous crimes of the 
 Bush Regime. \n\nTwo years - since the world watched in horror as bodies 
 floated in the streets of New Orleans. \n\nTwo years – since the Bush 
 Regime allowed tens of thousands of people – overwhelmingly Black people 
 – to suffer, starve, dehydrate and die in the unbearable heat and 
 humidity and toxic sludge of a flooded city. \n\nTwo years – since entire 
 swaths of a city known for the joyous and unique culture it has given as a 
 gift to the world were allowed to be overwhelmed and destroyed. \n\nTwo 
 years – since tens of thousands of people were packed into the Superdome 
 and Convention Center of New Orleans, in horrific, murderous conditions 
 that recalled the enslavement that had originally brought African people to 
 the “new world”. \n\nTwo years – since people trying to escape the 
 living hell of New Orleans were turned around at gunpoint by racist police 
 at the Gretna city line. \n\nTwo years – since the bodies of dead people 
 were stacked on the luggage carousels of Louis Armstrong Airport. \n\nTwo 
 years - since tens of thousands of Black people were turned into refugees, 
 scattered throughout the country, separated from their families. \n\nTwo 
 years – in which tourist sections and a football stadium have been 
 restored while public housing has been shuttered and surrounded with barbed 
 wire, people trying to return to the projects have been evicted by SWAT 
 teams, and the public hospital remains closed, never to reopen. \n\nTWO 
 YEARS TOO LONG – the verdict is in; the Bush Regime is guilty, guilty, 
 guilty, of towering crimes against 
 humanity:\n\nhttp://www.bushcommission.org/ & 
 http://internationaltribunal.org/tribunal-charges/ \n\nOne more day of this 
 regime is too long. Now is the time for people everywhere to act with a 
 defiance, rage and determination that is as radical as the times we live 
 in, fully determined to wrest the fate of our planet and its people from 
 the likes of Bush and Cheney and into the hands of the people, determined 
 not just to call them out for their crimes but to put an end to them: 
 \n\nDECLARE IT NOW: WEAR ORANGE! DRIVE OUT THE BUSH REGIME!\n\nIn New 
 Orleans and throughout the country this week, everywhere people gather to 
 mark the two year anniversary, the color orange needs to burst out -- in 
 neighborhoods and workplaces, on subways and buses, on campuses, in big 
 cities and small towns, everywhere. The monstrous crimes committed against 
 the people of New Orleans and the Louisiana/Mississippi Gulf Coast by Bush 
 and his crew can never be forgiven. The whole Bush regime must be driven 
 out! Spreading the color orange everywhere is a vital way of breaking the 
 paralyzing chokehold put on the people by the tag-team partnership of 
 Bush/Cheney and the Democratic Party leadership.\n\n
