Join the Growing Protest at Joint Session of US Congress on Wall St.
A joint session of Congress will convene Friday, September 6, 2002, 11:00 a.m., at the Sub-Treasury Building at Wall and Broad Streets, in a hyperpatriotic war rally, in the name of "solidarity with New York".
Groups opposed to the lockstep frenzy will get together at the SI
ferry terminal on the southern tip of Manhattan, at 10:00 a.m., and then see how close we can get , with or without a permit under current negotiation.
This is the same Congress that passed the draconian "USA PATRIOT" Act, an unconstitutional statute which declares the repeal of the Bill of Rights, and which follows the 1996 Anti-Terrorism act and various omnibus "crime" bills, along with a series of fascist executive orders and court decisions, which are giant steps toward fascism.
The central theme will be opposition to Bush's war, particularly the developing Iraq attack. The war hysteria cannot be allowed to go unchallenged.
Pledges of participation and have already united groups as diverse as Another World is Possible (NYC), the Greens (including NY Governor candidate Stanley Aronowitz, and the International Action Center. The list is growing, and hopefully will include YOU!
