Mon.Mar.6.2006@6:00PM to Mon.Mar.6.2006@8:00PM
Monday, March 6, 2006 6-8 pm PROTEST US-ISRAELI NUCLEAR HYPOCRISY at the AIPAC ANNUAL CONFERENCE ** NO US-ISRAEL ATTACK ON IRAN ** ISRAEL STOP THREATENING NEIGHBORS WITH NUCLEAR WEAPONS ** NUCLEAR FREE MIDDLE EAST ** EQUAL RIGHTS AND RIGHT OF RETURN FOR PALESTINIANS Endorse! Publicize! Participate! WHEN: Monday, March 6th, 6:00-8:00 PM during American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) Gala Banquet attended by dozens of congressional representatives and other luminaries. (Rumor has it "hot shot" Dick Cheney will speak.) WHERE: DC Convention Center, south side of Mount Vernon Place between 7th and 9th Streets NW. WHAT: Bring relevant signs, flags, banners. Be ready to speak out with other activists for Middle East peace and human and Palestinian rights. Megaphone will be provided. Some people are talking about non-violent civil disobedience so email us if interested. WHY: To make it clear we do not want the US or Israel to attack Iran and want both to work for a nuclear free Middle East that removes Israeli -- and American -- nuclear weapons from the area. Israel should cease threatening its neighbors with nuclear weapons and instead seek peace by ensuring that Palestinians have equal rights and the right to return to their original homes, lands, cities, towns and villages. SUNDAY VIGILS: Some individuals will vigil Sunday morning and evening March 5th. 11:00 am to 1:00 pm during speech by UN Ambassador John Bolton on Iran; 6:00 - 8:00 pm during the dinner meeting, just in case Dick Cheney shows up Sunday instead of Monday. ENDORSE! We will be accepting endorsements from individuals and groups until March 4th. Get them in as soon as possible to be listed on press materials.
