[announce at comm-org.utoledo.edu]

From: "Jennifer Flynn" <flynn at nycahn.org>

I read the post on comm-org about Republican National Convention 
protest preparations and it didn't have the Still We Rise march and rally 
on Monday August 30th.  This exciting massive mobilization focuses on 
economic justice issues (housing/homelessness, AIDS/healthcare, 
welfare reform, immigration and civil rights/criminal justice) and is being 
led by community organizat ions working in low-income communities in 
NYC (check out the membership list below--its impressive).  

On August 30th, 2004--during the Republican National Convention...  

Still We Rise is meeting at 2:00 p.m. at Union Square Park(with 2 
smaller feeder marches starting at 12 in Brooklyn across the Brooklyn 
Bridge and at 4:00 at the harlem state office building)  

We are marching to Times Square for a 5:30 p.m. rally.  

Still We Rise holds general meetings every first Thursday of the month 
at 6 :00 p.m.  The next one will be June 3rd, 6:00 p.m. at Picture the 
Homeless, 170 East 116th Street 6 train to 116th Street/Lexington Ave.
