«·´¨******* Hitch a ride to Washington 24th of September! *******¨`·»

Hi folks!

Only about two weeks left to the March on Washington Peace Rally - it's the 24th to 26th of September.

It will be 3 days of massive action, music and politics - the prospect is good.

But one problem is getting there, and I've set up a board where those in NEED of transportation can come together with those with spare room in their car.

«·´¨***Hitch a ride to W!***¨`·»

"Hitch a ride to W - hitch a ride to Washington. This is the forum for people WHO HAVE additional space in their car, or those WHO NEED a ride to get there for the 24th of September 2005.
If you don't have a way of getting to Washington, you can do a search below for the name of your hometown or state, to see if any people are offering a ride in your area. Or you can go to our community and post a request for transport."

This will be an important event in keeping up the pressure on Bush, because so many people will demonstrate and unite close to the centre of power. It will be massive! :-)



"United for Peace and Justice is a coalition of more than 1300 local and national groups throughout the United States who have joined together to oppose our government's policy of permanent warfare and empire-building.

We welcome the participation of any and all national, regional and local groups who share our goals and wish to work with others."

Get a hold of that old adventure feeling, pack a bag and join in!

Program (from unitedforpeace.org):

Sat., 9/24
• Massive March & Rally
• Peace and Justice Festival

Sun., 9/25
• Interfaith Service

This is the official program - you can probably count on a number of unofficial events; concerts, art and performance.

People, it's time to show numbers. And to speak truth to power.

If you need any help in getting from A to W, use this board. Or if you want company while getting from A to W ;-)

Please keep this thread kicked!

(A shameless double post :-E )

What's not to like about helping folks get to DC?

:kick: & nominate

We actually have a carpool leaving here on the 20th for an Artic Refuge protest, but though I have housing and transportation, I am wanted for various local political tasks.

So, the least I can do is :kick: this up.
