“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.”
     – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Are you ready for a new President?  So are we!  And we're already thinking about how to greet him.  DC activists have called for a nonviolent demonstration to coincide with the inauguration of the next President of the United States.

Our next planning and  strategy meeting will be on Dec 3.

When: Wed, Dec 3, 7:00pm-9:00pm

Where: People's Media Center, 4132 Georgia Ave, NW Washington D.C., 20011 (3 blocks from the Georgia Ave/Petworth metro stop)

This Inauguration Day will closely follow Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.’s birthday, and it is in his spirit that we demand:

1. Immediate withdrawal from Iraq and a commitment to take care of returning veterans.
2. A halt to the post-9/11 erosion of human rights and civil liberties:  repeal the USA PATRIOT Act, end torture and restore habeas corpus.
3. Redirection of tax dollars toward real action on housing, healthcare, climate change and other human needs.

 THE VOICES OF THE PEOPLE WILL TELL  PRESIDENT OBAMA THAT WE WANT TRUE CHANGE!
