The October 2nd demonstration is extremely important. Tens, perhaps hundreds, of thousands of workers will be there, and UNAC is making a big effort to be there with our Out Now! message. Tom is wrong, however, about UNAC "not holding together." What has happened is that a handful of former activists in the National Assembly, which initiated UNAC, have lost interest because they couldn't fight the almost unanimous sentiment to finally address Palestine. The overwhelming majority of the VERY diverse UNAC leadership and membership are moving ahead eagerly and efficiently to implement the Action Plan approved unanimously in Albany.
