Breaking NEWS - UFPJ update for 9-19
email announcement just in:
In a stunning turn of events, the NYC Police Department has reversed its previous decision to deny us the right to march near the United Nations on Sept. 19th when Bush addresses the General Assemby.
When the NYPD told us there would be no marches in the vicinity of the UN that day, we announced that we would march anyway, even if it meant going to jail. We have just learned that we are being given a permit for a march and rally that morning to call for an end to the war in Iraq.
As President Bush makes his way to the UN for his speech to the General Assembly, we will be gathering at 6th Avenue and 37th Street in Manhattan between 9 and 9:30 a.m. At 9:30 a.m. we will begin our march, heading north on 6th Avenue and then east on 47th Street. We will end at the Dag Hammarskjold Plaza on 47th Street between 2nd and 1st Avenues, across from the UN with a rally from 11 a.m. to 12 noon; Bush will be speaking at the UN sometime between 11:30 and 11:45 am.........
....We have agreed to march on the sidewalk for this demonstration......
....We have been encouraged by the widespread support we have received from across thecountry and inspired by the strong numbers of people who have expressed their willingness to engage in nonviolent civil disobedience to defend our right to protest. Though achieving a permit is a victory, we cannot back down in our efforts to end the war in Iraq. The Sept. 19th demonstration kicks off a week of action around the country - the Declaration of Peace.
Many of you were planning to risk arrest on Tuesday, so we ask you to come to a meeting on Monday, Sept. 18 at 6:30 p.m. to discuss the possibility of organizing a non-violent civil disobedience action in NY in conjunction with the Declaration of Peace.

....The UFPJ office, 261 W. 36th St. bet. 8th and 9th Aves. will be open tomorrow from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. for you to come and pick up leaflets. You can also pick up leaflets at the Number the Dead www.numberthedead.com demonstration on Sunday 10:30 – 11:30 a.m. at 15th St. and 5th Ave. or download and reproduce the flier.
