Subject: [107disc] NYC / re October 6 / an invitation to a protest



  Please feel free to share with others. I am happy to pass on this post
from
 Leslie Cagan. I will be there this Sunday. Bush has not yet won. The
people
 of this country are not supporting the war. Help make that clear.

  Together in one voice, from New York City, "ground zero", we will
  declare to  the people of the world that we are determined to oppose,
  resist and STOP  the injustices done by our government in our name.
  We'll form an image of  the world and take the Not in Our Name Pledge of
  Resistance. We'll be there - will you?

  Some of those who'll be in Central Park October 6 are: Cynthia McKinney;
  actor and spoken word artist Saul Williams; attorney Lynne Stewart;
  filmmaker Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding); Rev. Peter Laarman, Judson
  Memorial Church; actor/comedian Reno; Imam Talib Abdul-Rashid, Mosque of
  Islamic Brotherhood, Harlem; poet Vinie Burroughs; Leslie Cagan; Ken
  Estey and many more.
