Endorse the Giant Boston Anti-War Protest
We are asking your organization to endorse the October 17 rally on Boston's Copley Square starting at 1:00 pm (reply to oct17endorse@gmail.com to endorse) and we particularly hope that the organization will contribute $50 for a sponsorship. This fundraising is critical to pay the basic expenses such as sound system and staging. The endorsers and sponsors will be listed on the website (oct17boston.org). The rally is part of nationally coordinated actions which will feature an October 5 demonstration in Washington DC (http://tinyurl.com/nl9nq5), October 7 in many places, and October 17 in many cities (october17.org).
There are many ways that you can help with publicity and contacts, media, providing human resources or holding educational programs. This is a grassroots effort and we need everyone to help as they can in order to make the rally a success. If you or your organization wants to be a sponsor for the event, please make your $50 check out to October Demonstration and mail to October 17 Mobilization, c/o United for Justice with Peace, 2161 Mass. Ave., Cambridge MA 02140. Please do not hesitate to contact us for any questions or information.
