arun forwarded this to the print list.
great info, so wanna call out if you are going to be somewhere?
on saturday, i can cover the brooklyn procession b/c i am going to be
on a job near prospect park that morning. so , good segue.
that leaves manhattan and the bronx - it would be great to get to all
of the locations. can someone make it up to the bronx? Xavier, a
reporter in the bronx, of the print team, could partner up with you and
you could file a great report. let me know if you want to be connected
with Xavier. though you could just email the print list.
seems like manhattan will be easy to do.
other thoughts?

> Where is hope to be found? Ignorance has clasped hands with hatred to

>
> The war we now face has striking parallels with America’s last
> quagmire: no seeming end, a daily feed of death and devastation, a
> “with us or against us” mentality. Yet there is no counterweight to
> Empire this time, we’re not riding a historical wave of social change
> and the right has gripped far-reaching power with lascivious sadism.

>
>
> The war is real, especially for millions of Iraqis who have been
> tortured by our freedoms for years. But it is also a distraction, a
> cover for rolling back a century of social progress. In just two
> months we’ve been given legislation that bestows a national ID on
> everyone, freedom for corporate crime by sweeping away class-action
> suits and debt peonage in the form of bankruptcy “reform.”
>
>
>
> But hope is not lost, in ways small and large. The foundation of
> Bush’s second term—privatizing Social Security—is already crumbling,
> brush fires of resistance among soldiers and citizens to the war have
> ignited across the country, organized labor is trying to awake from
> its slumber even as unorganized agricultural workers show that
> victories can be wrenched from corporate Goliaths.
>
>
>
> Even in the global gloom, bright spots shine through, whether it’s
> grandmothers in Okinawa, who have stymied U.S. efforts to build a
> military base on environmentally sensitive areas or the dramatic
> “Bolivarian Revolution” in Venezuela, which shows that the lot of the
> poor majority can be improved dramatically, in body, mind and spirit,
> if the will is there.
>
>
>
> It is important to remember what sustains us and carries us forward.
> It is building alliances, giving people dignity and not compromising
> our principles. It is creating our own bases of power, based on
> people. Change, real change, happens in the street. It happens through
> making trouble, tearing down the walls of power.

> Nonetheless, it is still a time of terror, which emanates foremost

> cast a spotlight on the terror of occupation, while Lebanon seems
> caught between the democratic aspirations of its people and the
> cynical manipulations of the West. The world’s gaze has moved on from
