Urgent call from Leslie Cagan for aid to Feb 15 actions

["Fred Feldman" <ffeldman@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The February 15 and 16 rallies in New York and San Francisco are taking
on
historic proportions.  In combination with dozens of national
mobilizations in
cities from London to Bangkok on February 15, these will be the largest
demonstrations for peace and justice in world history.

In New York, our confirmed speakers include Archbishop Desmond Tutu,
playwright Tony Kushner, NAACP Board Chair Julian Bond, leaders of the
September Eleventh Families for Peaceful Tomorrows, Angela Davis,
performance artist Sarah Jones and poets from Def Poetry Jam, Harry
Belafonte,
Danny Glover,  Rosie Perez, Pete Seeger, Holly Near, and more.
[Visit http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?list=sub&sub=30 for
lots more
detail.]

WE NEED YOUR HELP!  The scale of this demonstration is swamping our
resources and budget.  Even though we have hundreds of volunteers, and
have
distributed hundreds of thousands of leaflets (in five languages), we
need to do
much more.

Please go to http://www.unitedforpeace.org/article.php?id=160  and make
an
on-line donation today.  Whatever you can afford--$10 or $100, it's all
needed.
And forward this to your friends. We have one last chance to send a
global
message-"The World Says No toWar."  We're counting on you.
