Subject: RALLY IN BOSTON THIS SUNDAY. NO WAR!
SUPPORT MASSIVE TURNOUT - TELL YOUR FRIENDS/DISTRIBUTE:
THIS SUNDAY!!! PEACE RALLY!!!!
On November 3 at 1 PM a peace rally will begin in Boston Common.
After an hour or so, we will begin a march through the streets of
Boston, and then return to the rallying spot around 3:30 for another
set of speakers and music. The speakers will include: Howard Zinn,
historian and professor; Jill Stein, Green Party candidate for
Governor; Bishop Thomas Shaw, Episcopal Church; Layla Cable, with
the view from the other end of the bombing in Iraq; Chuck Turner,
Boston City Councilor; Paul Camacho, professor and veteran of the
Viet Nam war; and Randy Forsberg, peace activist and write-in
candidate for Senate to unseat John Kerry. The music will be live,
with rock to reggae and not too much folk. Buddhist drummers will
lead the march.
Interest in the rally has been widespread, and we expect in excess
of ten thousand people. The more people we can rally, the greater
momentum the still-fledgling peace movement will have. There is no
way to peace. Peace is the way. You are the peace movement.
It is not surprising that so many people in our region are
interested in the rally. New England is the the home to prophets of
peace and nonviolence from Henry David Thoreau to William Lloyd
Garrison; it is where Frederick Douglass took his stand and where
Emily Dickinson cultivated a distinctive voice of ringing dissent.
Ours is the region where Martin Luther King engaged Gandhi and
William Sloan Coffin taught peace. We know why we are turning out
for peace, but we must show the rest of America what a peace
movement looks like.
In New England, we know that our local communities are alive and
well, and can quickly respond to crisis by showing up in large
numbers on Boston Common. But this fact is something that we must
teach to the Bush Administration and to those members of our
Congressional delegation who voted "yes" for this war.
The conscience of our region has been stirred, and in colleges from
Hampshire to Harvard, in homes from Penobscot to Narragansett Bay,
Providence to Provincetown, and in churches, synagogues, mosques and
ashrams from Montpelier to Hartford, individuals and entire
communities are saying NO to this war.
We will demonstrate that we oppose the cycle of militarism that is
coming exclusively to characterize American foreign policy. We don't
want an open-ended and expensive war in Iraq. We say NO to the
large-scale killing of Iraqis.
November 3 will embody and advertise a set of principles. It will
display democracy in action, in the tradition of the town meeting.
It will remind our fellow citizens that dissent is appropriate and
that Constitutional rights exist for those who assert them. It will
bear witness for peace. And it will be fun.
