Massive Anti-War Rally at 16th & Broadway Jan. 14, 3:30 to 5:30 pm

Hello everyone, and Happy New Year!

For most people, the last several weeks probably involved holiday gatherings
with friends and family. Locally, we saw little, if any, direct action.

But over that time, more and more news about the corrupt politics of the
Bush administration continued to pour in, and the news about the Iraq war
has only gotten worse. Many frustrated people emailed me in December to say
that they could hardly wait for the next anti-war rally, and now we have one
planned:

On Saturday, January 14th, from 3:30 pm to 5:30 pm, we'll hold a major
anti-war/anti-Bush rally at 16th & Broadway, in Sacramento (rain or shine)!
Bay Area folks take note: there is not one single anti-war event in the
entire Bay Area this weekend, so if you want to stop the war, please come to
Sacramento (only a 1.5 hour drive!).

If you're fed up with Bush's arrogance and want to express your views, you
won't want to miss it. If the weather cooperates, we expect a huge turnout.
Not only have anti-war and civil rights folks gotten more frustrated with
the Bush administration's flagrant disregard for human rights and the U.S.
Constitution, but there are also significant issues pending before Congress
that warrant public expression via direct action. There are many issues
about which to speak and to protest.

But we also need to be heard! If we show up in large numbers, that will
increase the likelihood that the media will cover our event and that they'll
give it more coverage time. There's always more coverage when there are more
people. So please help to spread the word.

Also, please bring your compelling anti-war signs and displays. To draw
public attention to our dissatisfaction with the status quo, our anti-war
expressions must be dynamic!

Therefore, so that we can show strength in numbers, please forward this to
others, and bring your friends, banners, signs, art, instruments, etc., to
16th & Broadway on Saturday, January 14th, from 3:30pm to 5:30pm.

Thank you. We look forward to seeing you!
