February 15th, Saturday, North Carolina will mobilize against the war, in
conjunction with and as part of a worldwide mass mobilization to stop the
Bush regime. We will assemble at 12 Noon on the Capital grounds, downtown
Raleigh. The goal is 10,000 people, and we have two weeks. I became a
grandparent six weeks ago. My grandchild is smiling and reaching and trying
to make talking noises. I love this little boy, and this movement has now
become part and parcel of my responsibility to fight my heart out for a
better world than this, where he will not be faced with the consequences of
this out-of-control system and its out-of-control, racist, heterosexist,
imperial-militaristic, ecocidal political class.
We are at a point where the global movement against Bush's wars has begun
to weaken that regime, and we have to keep up the momentum. We are on the
cusp of a strategic opportunity to actually defeat and destroy this
dangerous clique politically. How to fight for our grandchildren's futures
doesn't get any more concrete and immediate than that.
We will get out more information as the Program Committee works out the
details. But for now, plan on being there. Not mini-demos in Roanoke Rapids
or parallel demos in Charlotte or sympathy demos in Asheville or
letter-writing campaigns in Wilmington. New York City will have half a
million that day. We need to put 10,000 North Carolinians in the street in
Raleigh, the state Capital. We need concentration! We need to put up the
biggest thing this state has ever seen, so people like John Edwards who is
hallucinating about the Presidency right now gets a message, and so they
can get on their cell phones to DC and say, "Hey, these people are serious
and they are talking about becoming 'ungovernable.'"
Organize car pools. Organize buses. Organize wagon trains, we don't care.
This call is going out from the statewide antiwar committee that met (200
strong) from all over NC today at Greensboro. Send this message along to
every list you have, tell every friend you have, make flyers and put them
on mailboxes or cars in parking lots, or pass them out at church. Contact
your organizations. TWO WEEKS! THIS IS IMPORTANT! We each have to take the
responsibility to work as hard as we can from now until then to put warm
bodies in the street February 15th. Make their jaws drop!
Help NC help the world! Help politically destroy the Bush Junta! NC Mass
Mobilization Against War! State Capital, Raleigh 12 Noon, Saturday,
February 15th
No Excuses! Be There! "We must become ungovernable by warmongers!"
