-But how can you organize a mass mobilization in a week or two? What -are they thinking?
That no one is going to pay attention anyways, so why waste time with a long run-up?
I myself have declared tonight a national sleep-in against the war.
Everyone who opposes the war will go on strike against awakedness by 3am in the morning.
I except support to be overwhelming.

CB: This was initiated and planned over three months ago, before Rosa Parks died. I sent notices of this to this list. Note below the first post on this I sent to this list was dated September 24, 2005. Check the list LBO-Talk list archives, using "Rosa Parks" as your search item, and you will see that Workers World planned this way more than two weeks before the date; and the date of my post in the archives before Parks' death proves that Workers World did not opportunistically use Parks' death, but based on a good historical, radical precedent aimed to commemorate Comrade Rosa Parks' _ACTION_ for radical change on its fiftieth anniversary, and with a demo on Wallstreet ! Whaaatttt ? Shutup !!!
NYC, Baltimore, Boston, Detroit, Cleveland City Councils have supported it with resos. That's not sectarian work. City Council members represent tens of thousands of people. Definitively _not_ sectarian.
It didn't happen in two weeks.
Parks died October 24,2005

Move me back to Atlanta, the obvious place for a such a big demonstration, and I'll take you up on that.
^^^^^^ I'd say the place is Wall Street. The form is non-violence in the Parks-King tradition.

From: Larry Holmes
New York City Council Resolution to Commemorate the December 1st 50th Anniversary Of Rosa Parks Arrest And Support the Day of Absence
INTRODUCED ON THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 2005 BY COUNCIL MEMBERS CHARLES BARRON, TRACY BOYLAND, BILL PERKINS, YVETTE CLARKE, AL VANN, HELLEN FOSTER, ROBERT JACKSON, LETITIA JAMES, CHRISTINE QUINN, DAVID WEPRIN, AND BILL DEBLASIO.
STATUS: REFERRED TO COMMITTEE IN LIEU OF FULL CITY COUNCIL PUBLIC HEARING IN COUNCIL CHAMBERS ON FRIDAY NOVEMBER 18, FROM 11:00AM TO 3:00PM.
Where as, December 1st 2005 will mark the 50th anniversary of the day that Rosa Parks help to open the modern civil rights movement by being arrested in Montgomery Alabama for refusing an order to give her bus seat to a white man.
Where as, Rosa Park's Passing on Monday October 24 has made it all the more timely and necessary that we honor, preserve and draw inspiration from her courage and legacy.
Where as, the heroic Montgomery bus boycott against racist segregation that Rosa Park's sparked became the first mass movement to defeat legalized segregation in the South, as well as the struggle that introduced the world to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the boycott's principal spokesperson.
Where as, the tragic Katrina hurricane exposed to the world that 50 years after the start of the civil rights movement, the need to battle racial inequality, poverty and war, the three things that Dr. King came to see as the enemy of all human progress, remains more urgent than ever before.
Be it resolved that the City Council of New York City declares December 1, 2005 Rosa Parks Commemoration Day.
Be it further resolved that the Council encourages all businesses in the city, both public and private to either close on December 1st, or allow the many workers and students in the city who will want to attend Rosa Parks Commemoration events taking place during normal business hours, to take the day off, or leave work and school early with impunity.
