If you want to get Muslims out, do outreach to local mosques and
Muslim organizations and hold a demonstration after the Friday prayer,
rather than on Saturday or Sunday.

Also, why not call a national demonstration in Dearborn, Michigan,
rather than DC or NYC?  After all, that's where Arabs live.

Flyering at gas stations?  After drivers pay for their gas, tell them
that Tel Aviv and Washington are to blame for a large part of the
recent rises in oil prices, and ask them to call on Washington to stop
Tel Aviv from killing more Lebanese and Palestinians and not to
contemplate sanctions, covert actions, missile strikes, etc. on Iran.

None.
