A friend forwarded this to me today--
Spread the good word!
APRIL 25TH, 9:00AM
STANTON PARK, NORTH EAST WASHINGTON DC
-----------------------------------------------
WHO:
the radical cheerleaders of DC and YOU! this action is open to EVERYONE!
WHAT:
in response to the liberal and reformist action plan of the March for
Women's lives, the radical cheerleaders of DC have called for a radical pro-choice cheer/noise bloc. we will assemble, eat some yummy free breakfast, and have a feeder march from Stanton park, in Northeast DC, to the national mall where we will join in solidarity with over 1,000,000 other pro-choice supporters. when we reach the mall, we will join the main march and show them what radicals can shake!
WHY:
because abortion access and women's autonomy is under attack. because
these problems cannot be solved in the courts, in a voting booth, or
through your local member of congress. because the recent signing of the Unborn Victims of Violence Act and the Partial Birth Abortion Ban, has confirmed our suspicions....there's a fucking war on!
we will meet this challenge by showing our support for abortion access and women's autonomy without turning to the State for permission. we know that true liberation cannot be won by asking permission from the police to dissent. while we fully support the March for Women's Lives, we want to show our politics in the streets! so, while they have their rally and promote electoral politics as the key to emancipation, we'll have our march. then both marches will join at the mall and we’ll show our solidarity and strength together.
WHEN & WHERE:
april 25th, 2004. we will meet at Stanton park at 9:00am (NOTE THE TIME CHANGE) and begin serving breakfast. from 9:00 to 10:30 we will serve food and people can hang out, listen to some live music, and get ready to move. by 11:00 we're going to begin marching towards the national mall, and by 12:00 we should reach the main rally/march. from there we will join the main march with over 1,000,000 people.
