Work with the Bail Out the People Movement on October 2 to make resistance to FBI raids visible
10:00-11:00 Contingents / Feeder Marches:
Student Contingent: gather 10:00 at Freedom Plaza, 14th St and Pennsylvania Ave, NW
AntiWar-International Solidarity Contingent: gather 10:00 at 14th St and Constitution Ave.
Immigrant Rights Contingent 10:00 in front of Capitol
At main rally (all day long):
look for the BOPM banner between 19th St. & 17th St. on the northeast side of the reflecting pool.
At the rally on Saturday, Oct. 2, for jobs, peace and equality, many critical issues will be raised by the International Action Center and Bail Out the People Movement and other organizations, such as the need for a real WPA jobs program.
However in the wake of the FBI raids and Grand Jury subpoenas against activists last week, the IAC and BOPM want to make sure that there is very visible opposition to FBI repression, with the understanding that the attack on these activists is an attack on all who are fighting against war, racism and for economic and social justice.
The Bailout the People Movement, the International Action Center and many allied organizations will do this by bringing literature to distribute, as well as placards that address this issue at the rally. The main placard is a picture of Dr. Martin Luther King, recalling the FBI's attack on him,which says "Stop FBI attacks on anti-war and union activists."
The Bailout the People Movement will have a large banner that says "FBI and Tea Party Will Not Stop the People's Movement for Jobs & Against War & Racism."
For all who will be in DC by 11:00 a.m.: There are several contingents that will have feeder marches to the main rally. The Student contingent will gather at Freedom Plaza, located at Pennsylvania Ave., and 14th St.NW (about one block north of the National Mall). It is very important to be there to help promote the Oct. 7th National Day to Defend Public Education.
There is also an Antiwar/International Solidarity contingent gathering at 14th St. and Constitution Ave. (on the National Mall). And there is also an Immigrant Rights' contingent at the Capitol which the IAC and BOPM will participate in. As of now, we understand that the plan is to march at 11 a.m. to the main rally.
The metro stop closest to the Student contingent is Federal Triangle. This is also the metro stop closest to the Anti-war/International Solidarity contingent.
For those who arrive in DC around noon, or will go directly to the rally at the Lincoln Monument, look for the BOPM banner between 19th St. & 17th St. on the northeast side of the reflecting pool. The closest metro stops are Farragut West or the Smithsonian (be prepared for a a long walk).
To make a big impact we need your help and hope you or your organization will join in this effort.
By boldly and popularly bringing the struggle against the FBI repression to this rally, all of us can help turn it back. We can refuse to let the FBI and big business isolate activists that are being targeted. We can also bring confidence and strength to all in doing this.
