The following e-mail is from United for Peace and Justice, which is part of a coalition of organizations that have planned a march, called the One Nation Working Together...and For peace. The March is scheduled to take place in Washington D.C., Saturday, Oct. 2, at the Lincoln Memorial. It will begin at noon. See the information below on how to volunteer and obtain other information, plus contact addresses.
You Live So Close! Mobilize and Volunteer for Peace on 10.2.10 (Please forward widely!)
"We have guided missiles and misguided men." --- Martin Luther King
A clear demonstration of this is the FY2011 budget with $726 billion slated for war and military spending vs. $51 billion for education... You do the math... Hint: Resources wasted in war and bloated Pentagon spending short-changes our basic needs at home. Most significant are the human resources lost and lives destroyed by endless war. The world cannot prosper under violence and endless threats of violence, and our peaceful anti-war message is a cornerstone of the people's agenda.
October 2, One Nation Working Together March on Washington DC, is the Peace Movement's opportunity to mobilize for the largest gathering of progressive organizations in a long time - joining unionists, civil rights groups, immigrant rights leaders and social justice advocates to remind Washington to Fund Jobs, Not War.
Our visible presence is required - The Peace Table needs volunteer help. With only 6 days left, 10.2.10 has the potential to be the largest demonstration in decades, but we need your help to make sure it's big. Help create a clear, strong voice and visible presence for peace and prosperity to One Nation. - Please volunteer to help ensure our message is heard and seen on 10.2.10!-
Please forward this email to all your colleagues, students, neighbors, friends and family so they know not to miss this historic occasion.- Visit onenationforpeace.org and onenationworkingtogether.org for more information (events, transport, housing, volunteering, etc.). Download fliers here.
