[Think] Saturday Jan 18th: SF Bay Area enviros against the war

[Fen Labalme]

Here's a great way to be part of Saturday's protest/march/rally,
organized by our friends at Working Assets:

-----

Environmentalists Against the War
Jan. 18, Grace Cathedral, 1100 California St., San Francisco
Environmental Anti-War Kick-off: 11:00 a.m. - Noon
Let's Roll! March and Eco-Auto Convoy: Noon - 1:00 p.m.

Environmentalists of all stripes who oppose Bush's plans for a 
preemptive invasion of Iraq are encouraged to bring their bicycles, 
hybrids, electric cars, friends, children, parents and neighbors to 
a rollicking, rolling gathering for opposing the war. 

It all starts at an anti-war kick-off rally with folks from local and 
national environmental organizations making the connection between oil 
dependency and Bush's dangerous rush to war. Sponsors include Working 
Assets, Sierra Club, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Ruckus 
Society, Global Exchange, Bluewater Network, Walk SF, SF Bicycle 
Coalition, Greenpeace, Project Underground, Rainforest Action Network, 
and Earth Island Institute.

Join us on the steps of Grace Cathedral at 11:00 a.m. on Jan. 18 for a 
pre-march gathering featuring signs, banners, letter writing tables, 
t-shirt giveaways, music, alternative vehicle fair, a game of pin the 
gas can on the SUV, and even a blessing of the hybrids and electric 
vehicles. (To reserve your sign now, visit www.workingassets.com/nowar)

At noon, environmentalists marching on foot, riding bikes and driving 
eco vehicles will form the first-ever, anti-war green machine convoy. 
This rolling environmental celebration will then proceed to the anti-
war rally which begins in San Francisco Civic Center at 1:00 p.m. 

As you may know, at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday Jan. 18, a massive anti-war 
demonstration will be held at San Francisco Civic Center. This may be 
your last chance to participate in a large scale protest before the Bush 
administration launches a preemptive strike against Iraq. Please join us 
and other like-minded environmentalists for the Jan. 18 kickoff at 11:00 
a.m. at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. Then march and ride with the 
eco-anti-war convoy to Civic Center, and stand up against the war.
