please forward widely! ---------------------------------------------------- United for Peace and Justice NYC http://www.unitedforpeace.org/nyc 212-603-3700 ---------------------------------------------------- NYC MARCH FOR PEACE & DEMOCRACY Stop the War on Iraq Saturday, 3/22 Assemble at noon Broadway between 38th & 42nd Streets March to Washington Square Park
Join United for Peace & Justice NYC on Saturday, 3/22, for a massive, spirited, peaceful march against war with Iraq! Show the world that New York City wants peace -- we won't let the Bush Administration use the attacks of 9/11 to justify an unprovoked and indefensible war.
We are marching not only for peace but also for democracy. The Bush Administration scorns world public opinion while gutting civil rights and civil liberties at home. Here in New York City, we have had to wage a protracted fight to have our basic right to march recognized. We are heartened that the NYPD has finally granted us a march permit -- but the length and difficulty of the process reflect an ominous attempt to restrict dissent.
Gather at noon on Broadway between 38th and 42nd Streets for a march down to Washington Square Park. Bring a portable radio and tune it to WBAI 99.5 for important updates and news.
Visit our website at http://www.unitedforpeace.org/nyc for a downloadable leaflet and much more information. Outreach materials are available at the UFPJ office (330 W. 42nd St, 15th fl) and many other locations throughout NYC -- see the website for details.
We need lots of volunteers -- join our volunteer network by sending a blank email to nycvolunteers-subscribe at yahoogroups.com You'll receive specific requests for volunteer assistance, averaging one email per day.
We also greatly need your financial support -- to spread the word about this crucial anti-war march, we're distributing close to a million pieces of literature, and that costs a lot of money. Make a secure online donation today at http://www.unitedforpeace.org/donate or send a check made payable to "United for Peace & Justice NYC" to:
United for Peace & Justice P.O. Box 607 Times Square Station New York, NY 10108
See you next Saturday -- we can still stop this war!
**IF WAR DOES BEGIN, converge from all directions on Times Square at 5pm on the day the bombing starts (the next day if bombing starts at night)**
