Call to Organize Local Antiwar Actions on August 29

Organize Local Antiwar Actions on August 29!
August 15th, 2004
AN URGENT CALL TO ACTION!

Sunday, August 29, the eve of the Republican National Convention, is a crucial date to stage peace and justice actions that can help shape public opinion going into the November election. As Bush is coronated by his corporate, military and fundamentalist cronies, we must upstage him with a peace and justice message.

We need the largest and broadest possible turnout in New York City for our protest, a legal and permitted march past the site of the Republican Convention. The NYPD and the Republicans have already begun a fear campaign designed to keep people away from this historic event, and we need everyone who possibly can to join us in the streets of New York.

But if you cannot make it to New York City on August 29, we urge you to organize local August 29 actions of any and all sorts. It will be very powerful to have hundreds of local actions to amplify our demand to bring the troops home now and reject the entire Bush Agenda.

Target the local Bush/Cheney campaign headquarters, the Republican Party offices or whatever venue works best in your town. Hold marches, demonstrations, vigils or teach ins. Fill the local airwaves with antiwar messages. We already know of actions being planned in Chicago, IL; San Luis Obispo, CA; Santa Fe, NM; and Detroit Lakes, MN – but how about we aim for actions in every single state!

With the country and the people of the world watching, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to make our voices heard!

Post your event at http://www.unitedforpeace.org and email us at info [at] unitedforpeace.org so the whole world will know of your participation.

In solidarity,
United for Peace and Justice
