In a shallow attempt at exploiting the lives lost at the World Trade Center, the RNC has pushed the Convention date to September.

The shallow attempt here is the left-wing neo-communists attempting to stir up class warfare, using the 3000+ dead from 9/11 as mere propaganda tools.

Hope you can make it to the counter protest in Hollyweird, Doug...It should be interesting.

Are there any Catholic Churches opening their halls or floors for sleeping? I am traveling from San Francisco and am a social justice teacher at a catholic high school. I would be interested in meeting up with other social justice/liberation theology inspired educators and workers when I am in NYC for the protests at the RNC convention.

And I need a place to crash...

Hi,

The housing working group is planning on reaching out to churches in the city, but we are sorely short on resources right this moment. If you have good connections or even half baked connections with churches or schools in the city, we could use help!

If anyone out there is connected to liberation theology inspired educators, I am sure namaste would love it if you put him in touch.

peace,
amanda

For the big Feb. 15th 2003 demo someone hooked up cooperation with some churches to open up as rest stops. One, I think, was Catholic church on west 43rd street or so - way over like 9th Ave. - maybe 9-10th Aves.

:idea: Maybe someone at United for Peace & Justice has that list. It would be a good start. At the time the rest stops were up on their website. That rest stop saved my neck - I walked all the way downtown that day and was freezing.
