I noticed a Park Slope man putting blue flyers on a lamp post on Sunday. Having spent the weekend reading about the retired generals call for Donald Rumsfeld’s resignation; and fears that Bush is ready to stage an invasion of Iran, I was happy to see that there is a huge demonstration planned for Saturday April 29th in New York City sponsored by United for Peace and Justice. Here are some details from the planning committee.
We are happy to announce that an agreement has been reached with the NYC Police Department for our plans on Saturday, April 29.
The March for Peace, Justice and Democracy will kick off in Manhattan, just north of Union Square and proceed south along Broadway to Foley Square, where we will hold a Peace and Justice Festival. Please click here for more details.

NEW YORK CITYUnite for change — let’s turn our country around!
The times are urgent and we must act.
Too much is too wrong in this country. We have a foreign policy that is foreign to our core values, and domestic policies wreaking havoc at home. It’s time for a change.
* No more never-ending oil wars!
* Protect our civil liberties & immigrant rights. End illegal spying, government corruption and the subversion of our democracy.
* Rebuild our communities, starting with the Gulf Coast. Stop corporate subsidies and tax cuts for the wealthy while ignoring our basic needs.
* Act quickly to address the climate crisis and the accelerating destruction of our environment.Our message to the White House and to Congress is clear: Either stand with us or stand aside!
We are coming together to march, to vote, to speak out and to turn our country around!
