DEAR FRIENDS & FELLOW ACTIVISTS: YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO JOIN ME FOR CAKE ON MY DECEMBER 11 BIRTHDAY AT 2PM AS I BREAK MY VERY LONG (24-WEEK) "SAVE CHAIN REACTION" SUPPORT FAST AT PAUL CONRAD'S ICONIC LANDMARKED PEACE SCULPTURE. MY FAST ENDS, BUT OUR CAMPAIGN TO RESTORE "CHAIN REACTION" CONTINUES GROWING!
PEACE & THANKS, Jerry Rubin FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Jerry Rubin 310-399-1000 [email protected] PEACE ACTIVIST JERRY RUBIN TO HOLD "SAVE CHAIN REACTION" PUBLIC FAST-BREAKING & CAKE-CUTTING CEREMONY ON HIS DECEMBER 11 BIRTHDAY AT SANTA MONICA'S ICONIC LANDMARKED PUBLIC ART PEACE SCULPTURE What: Public fast-breaking and cake-cutting. When: Tuesday, December 11, 2012 2:00 PM on Santa Monica peace activist Jerry Rubin's 69th birthday. Where: Paul Conrad's iconic landmarked "Chain Reaction" public art peace sculpture in the Santa Monica Civic Center, located on the 1800 block of Main Street, just north of Pico Blvd. and the Civic Auditorium. Why: To join with Rubin as he gives a birthday gift to himself by breaking his 24-week liquid-only "Save Chain Reaction" support fast that he began on June 26. Although Rubin will be breaking his fast, he says he will be continuing his efforts, and urging others to continue their efforts, calling for restoration of the 26-foot-tall nuclear mushroom cloud endangered peace monument, that has been standing in the Civic Center since 1991. Paul Conrad, who designed and created "Chain Reaction", was a 3-time Pulitzer Prize winning political cartoonist. His unique and creative sculpture, made of giant chain links, was gifted to the City of Santa Monica through a $250,000 humanitarian peace donation. Mr. Conrad passed away at the age of 86 on September 4, 2010 of natural causes at his home in Rancho Palos Verdes with his family by his side. His inscription at the base of "Chain Reaction" reads: "This is a statement of peace. May it never become an epitaph." For further information: Call: 310-399-1000 Or email: [email protected] To donate to help restore "Chain Reaction" please visit: www.ConradProjects.com ALSO: Please contact the Santa Monica City Council. New members will be sworn in 6:30PM that evening at the start of the public City Council meeting at City Hall located at 1685 Main Street, just north of "Chain Reaction". Email to: [email protected] Or call: 310-458-8201 Politely, but passionately, implore all City Council members to provide more time and Santa Monica's full support to work with the Conrad family to save and restore "Chain Reaction" in the Civic Center as the important and creative public art City landmark that it is. (one email or phone call will be delivered to ALL seven Council members.) #### [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
