On SATURDAY, APRIL 20, 2002, tens of thousands of peace activists, workers, students, labor unionists, and others will converge in Washington, DC for a massive march on the White House to say: MONEY FOR JOBS AND EDUCATION NOT WAR! STOP THE RACIST ATTACKS! DEFEND CIVIL LIBERTIES AND CIVIL RIGHTS! **The April 20 national march on Washington against racism and war will be part of a week of mass actions. We call on people to join the National Colombia Mobilization April 19-22 ( http://www.soaw.org/colombiaMobilization.html).**

A.N.S.W.E.R. will also hold a simultaneous West Coast April 20th march in San Francisco. It will begin at 11 a.m. at Dolores Park, 19th & Dolores Sts., and at 12 noon march to the S.F. Civic Center for a 1 p.m. rally. We encourage people from all over the West to attend the San Francisco event.

International (A.N.S.W.E.R. Act Now to Stop War & End Racism) is a coalition that was formed in response to the headlong rush to war and racist attacks following the horrific events of September 11.

mapquest

Civic Center Plaza is bounded by Larkin/McAllister/Polk (Carlton Goodlett Place)/and Grove. I think all the streets are two-way, except in front of City Hall (Carlton Goodlett). (I don't know if some streets restrict right or left turns.) Click the mapquest link and you can also get driving directions.

Apologies if you are receiving multiple bumps.

I just visted a friend at Diablo Valley Community College. WOW. This is a major lefty demonstation. Flyers are everywhere.

As a result I've changed my stance from "I might be there" to "I'll be there, unless I get a better offer."

NO JUSTICE - NO PEACE

OK, so it sounds like Sat. 12 noon at the steps of city hall as a rally point.

OK, let's do this thaaaaang! I've got a caravan of three so far from San Jose with me, deeel, and one other. We should be relatively easy to spot as we should be the only ones with patriotic/anti-terrorism sentiments and American flags.

Saturday 12 noon start time at city hall! I just heard a blurb that somebody sent to KSFO that it was at 1pm at the civic center, but let's concentrate our efforts at city hall at 12 noon and brace for the 1pm arrivals.

Stay tuned here for updates.

I don't listen to the radio much...has KSFO hyped the counter FReep much or has it been one short annoucement? Just kinda curious...

[CounterCounterCulture]

Short announcement. But they're happy to do it.

[GSWarrior]

I live 2 blocks from City Hall. We could meet at my place...

An interesting aside.....last weekend, a friend and I were at City Lights Bookstore (liberal lefty socialist store) in North Beach. We were commenting on all the Marxist literature. One boyish-looking woman overheard us and actually followed us down the street to a (liberal lefty socialist) coffee house and literally sat there for 20 minutes staring at us. Kinda weird. It was definitely not my imagination.

Sounds good, CCC!

Hey, we must be on the same wavelength ~ #49 ~ I saw Snow Bunny's great graphic on another thread and was going to post it here.! LOL : ) So, thanks CCC...and thanks Snow Bunny! It's beautiful! : )

VERY nice offer!

At the risk of being paranoid, this is an open group and all kinds are attracted. 99% are great, BUT there are some FReepers who I wouldn't want them to know where I live.

At several FReeps that I've been on, it would be charitable to describe one or two of the participants as WACKO NUT JOBS. So I open my house only to those I've previously meet and don't wear tin foil hats!

[American Preservative]

Hi GSWarrior, thanks very much for the offer, but imo, I think it would be best to just meet at the City Hall steps since I think people will be arriving at different times.

See you out there! : )

[GSWarrior]

That offer was in jest, although the sentiment is there.

[Drango]

Dear Mr Clam-
Are the Berkeley students highlighting this event? Any of your group planning to join us or are you hitting the books too hard?

[VaMarVet]

Best of luck to you guys - please turn out in SF tomorrow - this is important - added this thread to the Rally For America site. EAGLES UP!

[Saundra Duffy]

Rats! It's the day of my son's wedding reception. He'd never forgive me. For victory & freedom!!!

You'll get to see the Berkeley trash firsthand. As for the good students of UC Berkeley (currently in the occupied territory of Alameda County), we'll be doing our part on our campus, actually. Saturday the 20th is the annual "Cal Day" where prospective students come and look at the campus. One tradition is that, every year, ROTC rappels down the face of Wheeler Hall. Every year it is also traditional for the Spartacus Youth Club, a local Trostkyist organization, to protest them. This year the ROTC is particularly worried about protests, what with the war and all, and requested interested individuals to counter demonstrate.

Normally people ignore the Sparts because they're silly, and we don't usually counter protest them (the much bigger danger on our campus is the International Socialist Organization), so this is going to catch them totally off guard. It will be great.

Working from behind enemy lines to support our front-line Freep troops, respectfully yours, Lt. Colnel Clam of the Berkeley Free Brigade (ok, I just made that up).
