The upcoming march and rally to say NO TO THE BUSH AGENDA is moving ahead on Sunday, August 29th. Assembly will begin at 10:00am between 14th Street and 23rd Street, stretching from Fifth to Ninth Avenues. The march will kick off at noon and head up Seventh Avenue past Madison Square Garden. The meeting places for various feeder marches will also be announced on that web page in a few days, so keep checking if there's a specific group with which you'd like to march. Mayor Bloomberg still has not given a permit for the rally in Central Park but the march itself has a permit. (Protests to the Mayor and appropriate city officials would be very useful). Beautiful banners are available from United for Peace and Justice (you cansee a picture at http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article) for $6 each.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if New York City were covered with these banners during the entire RNC! You can also get poster versions of the flags for a small donation. These and other materials are available from the United for Peace and Justice office, 209 W 38th Street, 9th floor, Mon-Fri 9am-6pm, 212-868-5545 (call the office if you will arrive later). By the way, Dennis Kucinich has been invited to speak at the NYC Social Forum http://www.nycsocialforum.org/convention on August 31st, but it is not yet known if he will be able to attend. Hope to see you all on the 29th!
