Friends,
Do you know someone in New York? Or San Francisco? Forward this email to them RIGHT NOW!
Momentum is growing towards the October 5th protests - now in more than 150 cities and more than 40 states! But even as we grow, the Bush regime presses ahead with new horrors like LEGALIZED TORTURE!
So, in New York, we moved our Monday night meeting from a space that holds 200 to Cooper Union's Great Hall that holds 900 to hear about Bush's new torture bill and plan our response in the streets on Thursday.
Many notable individuals have agreed to speak as an emergency response - we need to pack this hall in the same way. Forward this to everyone you know in the New York City and San Francisco areas. Call them and make sure they'll be there. If you are within driving distance pack your car and get to the city. We must not become a nation of torturers!
Best,
Sunsara, Prachi, and Araby
