<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=37625701&url_num=10&url=http://www.unitedforpeace.org/septmarch>March
on Washington - Schedule of Events

The Saturday, Sept. 24 March on Washington promises to be a huge, powerful
expression of the mounting peace and justice sentiment in the country. The
ongoing horrors of the war in Iraq and events in the aftermath of Hurricane
Katrina have made this mobilization even more timely and important.

Confirmed speakers and performers so far include Cindy Sheehan, NAACP
Executive Chairman Julian Bond, Fernando Suarez del Solar, Jim Hightower,
Congresswoman Lynn Woolsey, Greg Palast, professional basketball player
Etan Thomas, Suheir Hammad, speakers from the devastated Gulf Coast, The
Coup, Le Tigre, Steve Earle, Joan Baez, and Sweet Honey in the Rock. A map
of the march route will be posted soon, and in the meantime we want you to
know that for the first time in many years we will march in Pennsylvania
Ave. right in front of the White House!

Along with the Grassroots Congressional Lobby Day, UFPJ is also organizing
a mass nonviolent civil resistance action at the White House. The tone,
theme and content of the action will create a wide gate through which many
people who are opposed to this war can take that next step of civil
resistance. For more information, and to join the action, visit
