(A group with which I am involved is participating in this event. I should have posted it earlier.)
Antiwar and anti-Bush activists from throughout the Mid-Hudson Valley and beyond are awakening a bit early Saturday morning (May 27) to take part in a march and rally outside West Point as President George W. Bush delivers the
commencement address to the military academy¹s graduation class.
The event begins with a gathering at 8 a.m. at Veterans Park in Highland Falls, where a march will start at 8:30 a.m. to the academy¹s Thayer Gate. The march will then return to the park for a 10 a.m. rally.
About 40 peace, justice, labor, and political organizations have endorsed the regional rally. Individuals should bring their own signs if they wish on topics of their choosing < from peace and justice to Bush¹s reactionary agenda, union rights and so on.
