From: Martin and Mardi 
Subject: Planning for 10/25 Rally in DC
To: CDJP Discussion ListServ 

[ DELETED ]

I propose that there be some pre-meeting discussion on the listserv of
tasks and logistics, as well as about goals and strategies.  Those of
us who discussed this event at the last CDJP meeting made two
assumptions--there will be one or more buses going to CD from the
Capital Region, and there will be some sort of kick-off event locally.
We talked about several tasks, and I have added a few more based on
bus trips/events in April & Oct last year and Jan, Feb, and March
this year--additions, corrections etc invited)

- Reserving buses
- Coordinating bus ticket sales to ensure smooth bus loading (and that
  # of riders and # of buses match :-)
- Selling tickets
- Raising money to subsidize some riders
- Planning publicity/outreach to fill the buses
- (The above two can be addressed by, among other things, phone
  banking, which will require collecting contact info formaking phone
  calls, designing flyers, distributing flyers, etc)
- Coordinating bus logistics (identifying bus captains,
  collecting/disseminating trip info for riders, etc)
- Establishing/ maintaining contact with national organizers

- Deciding on one or more local kickoff events
- Designing the program(s)
- Publicizing the event(s) to achieve high attendance
- Doing media work to achieve coverage in the local press of the
  event(s) & buses/rally

Before the initial meeting, there needs to be a lot of organizing to
ensure that students and others new to the region, communities not
well-represented on this listserv such as immigrant communities and
communities of color, and others have a full opportunity to take
leadership roles in this process.

I hope many of you share my enthusiam and energy for this event!

This meeting is immediately after the March and Rally to End the Occupation of Palestine, and the first hour or so will be dedicated to an informal discussion of things regarding activities of the Network Against the Occupation of Palestine.

Among other things, CDJP's role in the expanding local and statewide Peace & Justice movement will be discussed.

• Direction/planning for future civil disobedience. Thoughts and impressions of 3/17 and 3/20 CD.
• Funeral procession for the not-yet-dead of Iraq war as part of an anniversary of Dr. Kings "Beyond Vietnam" speech given April 4 1967
• Ad campaign (contact moveon.org to coordinate?)
• Protests at car dealerships
• Public video showing of Jenin-Jenin
• Distributing video documentaries on Israel-Palestine war and HM-IMC Feb. 15 NYC documentary to school and public libraries
• Money collection for new website

1. Learning about and planning support for already-existing plans for peace, anti-war and anti-racism events
2. Planning logistics for sending buses to Washington DC for a demonstration on Jan 18th, 2003. (This is a national call to action, based on (for example) Dr. King's message in his Beyond Vietnam speech at Riverside Church in 1967, when he stated: For the sake of the hundreds of thousands trembling under our violence, I cannot be silent. (More info on that here).
3. Developing local multi-racial, nonviolent, anti-war/peace actions.
