ORGANIZING CENTERS/TRAVEL INFORMATION/ORGANIZING PROJECTS
CAN YOU OR YOUR GROUP SERVE AS AN ORGANIZING CENTER FOR THE JANUARY 20 PROTEST AT THE INAUGURATION?
URGENT APPEAL: DONATE ON-LINE TO HELP MOBILIZE FOR
JAN. 20 DEMONSTRATION AT BUSH'S INAUGURATIONWe've heard from people from New York and New Jersey to Maine, Vermont, Florida, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Texas and more. Wherever you are, find the organizing center nearest you--and if there isn't one, consider being an organizing center. You could organize transportation to DC, or to the nearest major city to get on their buses. Either way, if you let us know your plans, we can post them so others can find you. If you're already organizing, let us know because every day people all over the country are calling and emailing the IAC looking for local organizers!
Serving as an organizing center in your area would mean working with other people and groups in your city, school, community, place of worship, union or workplace to bring people to DC on January 20. Organizing tools are available. We would list you on the IAC web site as a local contact and could direct people in your area to you.
Below is a partial list of organizing centers. Email iacenter@iacenter.org with your local contact info if you or your group can serve as an organizing center. Information will be listed on the IAC and other web sites, and email notices will be sent out periodically.
