> Hey ya'll,
> Thanks so much for including the October 7th National Day Against
> Military Recruitment on your home page as part of the International Days
> of Protest Against War. That was called by the national youth network of
> Not In Our Name. For NION here locally, the protest on the 5th is our
> main focus and is where we'll be announcing the kick-off of the
> anti-recruitment campaign and plans for a counter-recruiting action on
> the 7th. So could you please add an entry about the October 5th action to
> that list of Seattle Peace Events? Here's the info and our website
> calendar makes a good link--it's very up-to-date. (By the way, feel free
> to steal from it anytime. We list lots of events--not just ours.) 
> 
> Protest: Sunday, October 5
> "WE SEE THROUGH THE LIES!"
> War is not peace.
> Occupation is not liberation.
> Immigrants are not terrorists.
> Police state restrictions are not security.
> 
> Rally at Volunteer Park Amphitheater, Seattle 1pm (10th Ave E and
> Prospect)
> March through the city to the INS Dentention Center (815 Airport Way S.
> and Dearborn)
> Midpoint is Westlake (4th & Pine)
> This is a legally permitted, family-friendly action.
> 
> In keeping with the theme, NION will provide a thousand signs shaped like
> eyes that say "We See Through the Lies!" This long march will take
> participants through the most crowded parts of the city to reach as many
> people as possible, and then end at the INS detention center where
> immigrants are being unjustly detained under the guise of the so-called
> "War on Terrorism." We will go down Broadway, by Westlake Center, to Pike
> Place Market, along 1st Ave, and through a bit of the International
> District before reaching our destination. Those needing a shorter march
> are encouraged to meet up with us at Westlake (4th & Pine). The march
> will leave Volunteer Park at approximately 2:30 pm.
> 
> The rally will include performances by:
> Andrew Himes, Executive Director of Poets Against the War
> Jim Page
> Sons of Hagar
> Michael Bade
> Mary K. McNeil and the Intergenerational Peace Choir. (Ms. McNeil is the
> music teacher who chose not to return to her job at Olympic View
> Elementary after the school principal said that the children could sing
> about peace but in no way could they suggest anything about stopping war.
