NO PERPETUAL WAR!
Since the huge turn-out on Boston Common last November 3, the peace and
justice movement across Massachusetts has burgeoned to become truly
representative of the will of the people of our region. After a winter of
travels for rallies in Washington and New York, New Englanders will return
to the Common on March 29 to reclaim our home turf and deliver an
unambiguous message to those courageous members of New England's
Congressional delegation opposed to this war that we stand behind their
efforts on behalf of peace.
On March 29, after a short rally and some good music, the fully-permitted
march will proceed down Beacon Street through Back Bay and back again to the
Common on Boylston Street. But before the march returns to the Common, it
will stop and all marchers will be invited to participate in a mass die-in.
Like a Fenway Park "wave," we will lie down on the street to symbolize with
our bodies the innocent civilian Iraqi deaths in this hasty and unnecessary
war. Street theater will be part of the die-in.
The turn-out on March 29 (beginning at 11:30 AM) promises to be huge, with
people organizing in their local communities across New England, but every
voice and every body and every sign and every face counts as we seek to send
an indisputable message that New England says NO to this war. Please
participate. Come and bring your family and friends.
