This 3-day anti-war mobilization promises to be the most dynamic, powerful
peace and justice gathering in years. We're at a real turning point: A
solid and growing majority of this country is now against the war, and
there is deep discontent nationwide with the appalling priorities of the
Bush Administration and the shameful government response to Hurricane
Katrina. This is the time to stand up and demand a dramatic change of
political direction. Don't miss your chance to be part of this
extraordinary series of events!

2) Housing & Volunteers Needed!

Housing is still urgently needed for people coming to Washington, D.C. If
you live in the greater D.C. metropolitan area and have an extra bed, a
sofa, or even floor or camping space available, please
<http://www.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?key=39231087&url_num=20&url=http://www.unitedforpeace.org/housing>visit
our housing board and list it today!

We also need volunteers! Organizing a rally, massive march, festival, and
concert potentially attended by hundreds of thousands of people is no small
job. Literally
hundreds of volunteers are needed to collect donations, act as marshals,
staff informational booths, distribute information and leaflets, move
supplies and equipment, provide first aid/medical care, and do many other
tasks. So we're really counting on you.

Here's how you can plug in beginning Friday in DC:

POSTER ASSEMBLY BEGINS FRIDAY, 11 am through late Friday night.
This is key to getting out our message on Saturday. We have one day to
staple thousands of posters to cardboard tubes. We need as many people as
possible to help with this. In the basement of the Communication Workers of
America offices, 501 3rd St (between 3rd and E). 1 block from Judiciary
Square Metro stop on the Red Line.

VOLUNTEER TRAINING MEETING FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 7PM
If you are in the DC metro area Friday night, it's vital that you attend
this meeting. We need to know how many people we can count on for Saturday
and provide you with some important training. The meeting will be at the
Communication Workers of America offices, 501 3rd St (between 3rd and E). 1
block from Judiciary Square Metro stop on the Red Line.

VOLUNTEER CHECK-IN SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 24 AT THE UFPJ MAIN INFORMATION
TENT, WASHINGTON MONUMENT GROUNDS

7:00AM Early Birds - Help set up the Peace & Justice Festival

**8:30AM Volunteer Check-In and Orientation ** this is when our need for
volunteers is most critical

Volunteers also needed throughout the day - check in with one of our
volunteer coordinators at the information tent at any time from 9:00AM to
5:00PM

The UFPJ information tent will be located on the north end of the
Washington Monument Grounds, near Constitution Avenue.

If you have questions, email
<mailto:dcvolunteers at unitedforpeace.org>dcvolunteers at unitedforpeace.org and
one of our volunteer coordinators will get back to you ASAP.
