DESCRIPTION:People are being tortured while Americans are shopping!\n\nJoin World 
 Can’t Wait this Friday and Saturday to say:\nWe will not live in a 
 torture state!\n\nVolunteers Needed\nWhen: Friday, December 21 1PM-4PM AND 
 Saturday, December 22 1PM-4PM\n\nWhere: Near Macy’s at Union Square, on 
 Geary St. between Stockton and Powell in SF\n\nWhat: Street Theater 
 featuring orange-jumpsuited “detainees” and a real waterboarding 
 device.\nWe will be distributing orange ribbons, bandanas, bracelets, 
 buttons and t-shirts and calling on people to sign up and pledge their 
 opposition to a regime that brazenly tortures, lies, and then destroys the 
 evidence!\n\nWhy: Because, at a time when the question is being posed to 
 millions of people in this country -- should the United States be a torture 
 state or not? -- we want to be out there in a big way saying that torture 
 is completely unacceptable . . . in fact, the whole direction the Bush 
 regime has taken this country is unacceptable and must be 
 reversed.\n\nProtest at the Rose Parade on New Year’s Day\nThe WHITE ROSE 
 COALITION, a broad grouping of organizations and individuals based mostly 
 around the Los Angeles area, is calling for protest actions at this 
 year’s Rose Bowl Parade, held as always, in Pasadena on January 1st. The 
 Bay Area WCW chapter is making plans to carpool to join this action. If you 
 are interested, please email your thoughts and your phone number to: 
 sf@worldcantwait.org \n\nNOTE: If you want to know more about the true 
 story of the White Rose Society – a group of courageous German students 
 who were anti-fascist activists against Hitler’s regime – go

 Choose!\nEvery year near the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the anti-woman, 
 anti-choice “Walk For Life” descends on San Francisco to march 10,000 
 strong from Justin Herman Plaza into the streets, demanding an end to 
 reproductive rights for women. And every year, a vocal coalition and 
 mobilization led by the Bay Area Committee for our Reproductive Rights 
 (BACORR) takes to the streets to counter-protest. \n\nThis January 19, once 
 again the face-off over two different visions of women’s lives, of 
 women’s freedom, and of the future facing ALL of us, will be in the 
 streets. One difference this year: BACORR has secured a rally permit for 
 Justin Herman Plaza. This effectively displaces the traditional “Walk for 
 Life” rally, and it isn’t known as yet what their alternate plan will 
 be – they always have marched down the Embarcadero, their numbers 
 ballooned up by bussing in anti-reproductive rights church congregations 
 from all over the west. It IS clear that the Justin Herman Plaza rally will 
 this time belong to the groups and the people who defend women’s rights 
 to choice. \n\nWorld Can’t Wait is working with BACORR to make January 
 19th a bold and beautiful day with a powerful message of resistance. If you 
 would like to get involved please contact WCW right away. Call: 
 415-864-5153, or email: sf@worldcantwait.org \n\nMARK YOUR
