Dear MoveOn member in the Bay area,

 

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.

 

Find more details, including an opportunity to volunteer at the event and

reserve an environmental, anti-war sign at www.workingassets.com/nowar

We hope you can make it.

 

Sincerely,

 

- Peter Schurman
