Celebrating Freedom of Speech
United for Peace and Justice, the folks who helped organize protests of the Republican National Convention in New York, now encourage convergence on Washington, D.C. to mark President Bush’s Jan. 20 inauguration. Two groups are organizing creative, powerful protest activities: the DC Anti-War Network (www.dawndc.net) and Turn Your Back on Bush (www.turnyourbackonbush.org). They also urge those who can’t attend to organize local protest or educational events Jan. 20 and list them on the UFPJ calendar at www.unitedforpeaceandjustice.org/events.
Billionaires Celebrate their Win in D.C.
Billionaires for Bush, unsatisfied with their man’s narrow win, plan street action and a Billionaires Ball on Inauguration Day, followed by “convergence” disguised in “angry liberal attire” and ending three days later with D.C. sightseeing in Billionaire garb. RSVP to convergence@billionairesforbush.com. Billionaires are also holding hotel rooms at reasonable rates; email joellengilchrist@hotmail.com.
