 Bridge as part of the Occupy Wall Street actions, to California, and 
 countless cities and towns in between. This coming Friday, October 7, will

 Marches, rallies and other actions are planned in many cities across the 
 country and world from Oct. 6-8. \n\nIn San Francisco, we will gather on 
 Friday, Oct. 7th, 4:30 pm at the new Federal Bldg. Mission and 7th Sts.  
 for a rally, die-in, and march to demand an end to the wars and occupations 
 in Afghanistan, Iraq, Palestine, Haiti and everywhere, and money for jobs, 
 healthcare and schools, not the war machine!  The march will end at the 
 boycotted Grand Hyatt hotel, Stockton & Sutter, in solidarity with the 
 Local 2 hotel workers who have waged a long struggle for a new contract. 
 Along the way, there will be symbolic “die-in” commemorating the 
 millions killed and wounded in the wars. \n\nThe Oct. 7 march was initiated 
 by the ANSWER Coalition-San Francisco, and endorsed by many organizations
