{news} Fw: Huge Anti-War Action in Boston

[edubrule]

I received this e-mail and I'm passing it on.  I know nothing further about it.  I've deleted two e-mail addresses (I don't feel comfortable posting to lists with such e-mail addresses included without permissions).  If individuals I know personally want these e-mail addresses, I will consider giving them out.

>From Nick Schmader, [e-mail address deleted]


With the national political leadership still locked in a strange, spiraling death dance, anti-war people aren't yet looking for a whole lot to be happening in the 2006 election go-round. But the streets still beckon as the traditional home of the vox populi. To build upon the momentum created by the 9/24 DC event, thousands of people will be marching in Boston this coming Saturday. In a city full of history, let's make some more. For excellent info on the details of the march check out www.oct29.org  . The web site lists all of the groups which have endorsed and/or are mobilizing for the 29th and among them are: the Rhode Island Community Coalition for Peace, the Peace Action Committee of the US Green Party, and the Unitarain Universalists Service Committee.

NO GRUELLING OVERNIGHT BUS TRIP!!  For the many dedicated people who went to DC, this action in Boston is, comparatively, a convenient day-trip. Autumn seems to be running behind schedule so a loud stroll through downtown Boston might be a wonderful way to spend the day. Car pool up to Quincy and take the T into town. Catch a commuter train in South Attleboro. Use Bonanza Bus Lines from North Main in Providence. Take AMTRAK from Kingston. 

If you'd like to march with fellow Rhode Islanders, a pre-march meeting site has been tentatively selected: 


Proposed meeting place for 10/29 march:  southwest corner of Boston Common (intersection of Boylston Street and Charles Street) adjoining the Public Garden.  This is close to where the march is starting but far enough away to hopefully be a good spot to meet.

Proposed meeting time:  10:30 - 10:45 AM  (March starts at 11:00 PM on Tremont Street near the Armed Forces Recruiting Center). 

If you need a ride from Prov. to a public transportation site, RICCP might be car-pooling from a tbd location in Providence. Please let me know if you'd be interested.
