POSTPONED-Saturday, October 27, 2007-
MARCH AND RALLY TO END THE WAR IN IRAQ;
FUND HEALTHCARE NOT WARFARE!

Posted October 25: Dear Members of the San Diego Peace and Justice Community,

After much discussion and with very heavy hearts, the planning group for this Saturday's March and Rally has decided that the event must be postponed due to the firestorm catastrophe unfolding in our county. We discussed links we see with shortages of local resources, the outcomes they've had on our fire crisis and the enormity of the devastation of Iraq. We debated whether the larger community would be open to this message. We decided, finally, that now was not the time for such a public discussion but rather a time for coming together in support of those most impacted by the fire's destruction.

With this in mind, we would like to urge each and every person who planned to come to the demonstration this Saturday to volunteer and/or contribute to relief efforts - especially for those who find themselves outside of the traditional safety net. Suggestions include the collection point at Chicano Park and the Displaced Farm Worker Drive. Please find details at www.sdcpj.org

We will seek to re-schedule the demonstration for the near future and appreciate your understanding.

We will also be posting links at www.sdcpj.org to the demonstration in Los Angeles for those who would like to travel there in solidarity of the National call date this Saturday.

Again, thank you for your understanding.

The Planning Group for Oct. 27th and the San Diego Coalition for Peace and Justice
***************************************************************

Postponed: Gather 12 Noon, Horton Plaza, Downtown San Diego, 4th and Broadway; March to Pantoja Park Park from 1-3 p.m.

The U.S. war in Iraq is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqis and over 3700 American military personnel with tens of thousands more injured. It's time for peace and social justice activists and those fighting for universal healthcare to unite! Change the twisted priorities in this country. Please join us in an historic march in Sn Diego to demand that our government bring our troops home now, fund universal quality health care not war, and stop neglecting our vets.

[Breeze54]

30. Thanks for the update! That is completely understandable.

You all have very pressing problems to worry about right now.

Stay safe!

:hug:

[Mountainman]

24. Where at in Santa Barbara?

[AnotherMother4Peace]

26. Thank you for posting this. I've been so preoccupied here in San Diego, I wasn't aware.

Peace-makers will then disperse and walk through Santa Barbara in small groups, singing, performing, and sharing their perspective in handouts. Sponsored by the People’s Coalition of Santa Barbara, numerous concerned individuals and local organizations are joining together for this pre-Halloween costume “protest” on State Street.

25. Yep, but at none of the large cities that you mentioned...

Our family will be driving into Chattanooga, TN tomorrow for a march/rally that begins at high noon! Hope that everyone has a great day! :hi: :patriot:

[Breeze54]

35. Very cool, tnlefty!!!

:hi:

I'll be on the Boston Common, at a rally with bands

and speakers giving speeches and then to the march.

I hope you have a blast and meet new people too! :D

I'll be meeting some DUers for the first time maybe, if all the plans go right!

:toast:

[tnlefty]

41. Well just slap me silly and make me envious!

Medea Benjamin and Dennis will be at your rally! :bounce:

I'm sure that we won't have any high profile folks, but it will be a good day, hopefully!

[Breeze54]

43. LOL! Great saying!! He,he,he!!

:D

I know! Pretty cool, eh?

There are other speakers too but I didn't recognize all the names.

I'll take pictures and post them later on tomorrow night!!

:hi:

[Critters2]

37. I've been invited to ride with friends to both Chicago and Dubuque...

but I have a wedding. I'll be there in spirit!!

[Breeze54]

38. You getting married?

:P

J/K

Well, as much as it would be great if everyone in America
would participate, we all have lives to take care of as well.

Have fun! I'll hold my sign higher for you! ;)

[Critters2]

39. Just doin' the marryin'!

I'm glad you'll be there Breeze. I'll be thinking of all of you!! I hope the powers that be listen this time! :patriot:

[proud patriot]

40. I'll be in SF

[Breeze54]

44. Awesome and I'm jealous! There are

other DUers going to SF too! Look upthread.

They're flying in tonight! :woohoo: From AK!!

[proud patriot]

46. I saw that , I wonder if I'll bump into them

:hi:

[Stardust]

42. This is a wonderful thread...I was wondering if anyone was going.

Seems there's been so little buzz about it. I had planned to go to the Los Angeles march but life has intervened and I might not be able to. First one I've missed in 3 years. Kudos to all the marchers and those there in spirit.

[Breeze54]

45. I hear you! I posted about it on Oct. 19th but that thread got archived, so

I revived it in the IVAW thread I posted today. ;)

The link to that OP is in this OP! :P

SD march is canceled. Did you check the LA link?

And no fires! :(

:hug:

[robinlynne]

63. yes, going to meet a DUer for the first time!

[Stardust]

65. Hi Robinlynne! Saw your post in another thread (and your comment

that there was no media there). Sadly, I couldn't go to this one (and I haven't missed any that I know of in 3 years) but I'd love to hear about it from someone who went. Were the usual celebs there and the myriad special interest groups and their interminable speeches? Were the helicopters hovering overhead the whole time? And how about the onlookers? Were they, for the most part, perplexed by our disenchantment with this great country or are they finally beginning to understand our discontent? How many participated would you guess? Was it roughly the same size as previous marches or more? Sorry if I'm imposing, but I really wanted to go.

[robinlynne]

66. Hi! no helicopters, but lots of homeland security vans. no news people at all.

lots of speakers; Martin Sheen, the cast of Hair sang several songs from Hair, Mark Ruffalo, Marcy Winograd, and many more whose names I don't know. It went from 12 till about 4:30. They did the die-in where everyone laid down in silence for a few minutes. I snapped some pictures. Will get them downloaded and post here for you.

[Cybergata]

54. For all of you going!

I envy you all. There are no marches in New Mexico where I live. My heart is with you and if I could get away, I'd be on a plane to join everyone in some near by city. Please take plenty of photos and share them with the rest of us here at DU.

:yourock:

:yourock:

[Breeze54]

55. ((( Cybergata )))

:hug:

Then just put a sign on your car and on your lawn!

Every little bit helps! ;)

Next time, it looks like, you'll have to do the organizing.

Contact 'United for Justice and Peace' and see what gives.

http://www.unitedforpeace.org/

They used to have a coordinator in NM.

Maybe they need a new one! ;)

I'll take pics and post them when I get back home tomorrow night.

:hi:

[Cybergata]

64. The peace movement has been . . .

harassed by the police in my city, but we do have people here protesting often.

I carry an impeach sign with Chenny's face on it and an anti-war sign in the back of my car just in case I need to pull it out at anytime. I have code pink, peace signs and anti-war stickers all over my Subaru. Like I said, if I could, I'd be there. I some have photos of the movement in Albuquerque here ----> http://cybergata.com/peace.htm You'll notice I wasn't active in 2005, but believe me, my work life was so difficult that I didn't have the energy to participate.

[backscatter712]

56. I'll be there! See you at the Denver rally! n/t

[Breeze54]

57. Woot!! And Denver. CO checks in!

:bounce:

I hope you can take and post some pictures after your rally tomorrow!

I'll be watching the World Series, later on tomorrow, after the rally.

Lots of things to do tomorrow and I love it! :D

Have a great day! Is it snowing there?

[backscatter712]

62. It's a little chilly at 39 degrees, but it doesn't look like it's going to snow.

See ya there.
