In early June, the World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime will be holding a series of events delving deeply into different aspects of the Bush Regime's crimes and the reasons that they must be driven out. The banning of abortion and birth control, the attacks on science, the criminal negligence in the run-up to and aftermath of Katrina, and the role the Democratic Party is playing in relation to this Regime and in relation to the movement to drive it out. These are issues and events that are challenging people's assumptions and shaking up the national debate. These events coincide with our National Youth Organizer's Training in NYC and will be part of building for October 5th - a day of uncompromising mass repudiation of the Bush Regime and its program.
