Hi all, for those who have not seen this information on worldwide Feb. 15 peace demonstrations, please take a look. This looks like a pretty big event and I hope that all those who think there might be a better way forward than W's, are planning to take part...
Note links at bottom for ride and housing boards for NY-- also consider calling the NY phone numbers listed and urging the cops to issue permits ASAP, so this demonstration can go as peacefully as we would all like it to.
>Dear Friend of United for Peace & Justice:
>
>The response throughout the country to our call for an anti-war march and rally in New York City on Feb. 15 has been enormous, and we are expecting a truly massive turnout. With scores of major peace mobilizations planned all around the globe for that day, Feb. 15 promises to be the single largest day of protest in world history.
>
>We're writing to update you on the plans for Feb. 15 and let you know how you can support this historic event. We know rumors have been circulating about location and other matters. This is the official update on the march and rally.
>
>(For information on the Feb. 16 anti-war march and rally in San Francisco, visit: http://www.unitedforpeace.org/calendar.php?calid=1138 )

>
>The reason we have not yet been able to provide a location for this event is simple: With less than two weeks left before Feb. 15, the City of New York has still not granted our request for a permit to march and rally. We have another meeting with the police on Tuesday and remain optimistic that an agreement will be reached.
>
>But we need your support. Please immediately contact the following officials and urge them to grant our request:
>**NYC Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg: 212-788-3040, 212-788-3210, and/or 212-788-9600
