<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial"><img alt="Demonstration" width="300" height="157" vspace="5" hspace="10" align="left">Two weeks ago we asked if you were ready to hit the streets again. The answer is coming in from every corner of the country: YES.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial">Even with the usual challenges of end-of-summer organizing, <b>momentum for the One Nation Working Together mobilization in Washington, DC on Saturday, October 2nd is growing every day</b>. New organizations - both national and local groups - are signing on. New organizing committees in cities big and small are coming together. Buses are being reserved, carpools are being organized, and people are getting ready. Without exaggeration, all signs point to the 10.2.10 mobilization being of historical proportion. To put it simply: </span><b><span style="font-family:Arial">This is one you do not want to miss!</span></b></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial">With the long Labor Day weekend behind us, now is the time to take our organizing to the next level. What we do - what we all do - in the next few weeks will determine if 10.2.10 is one of the largest and most powerful expressions of the progressive agenda that our nation as ever seen. The peace movement has a tremendous role to play, if we step up now. We know how to turn out people: Remember the massive protests against the war in Iraq that we made happen? Those events were critically important in and of themselves, and they also laid the foundation for the work we are now engaged in. </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial"><img alt="Don't Hope for Change, Demand It" width="200" vspace="5" hspace="10" align="right" border="1">Our work as a movement goes beyond turning out large numbers of people for an historic event. We have an opportunity to help millions of people understand how the struggle to <b>end the wars and occupation in Afghanistan and Iraq</b> is directly tied to the urgent need to re-direct this nation's economic and social priorities. We can bring our clear call for cuts in military spending into the efforts to fund the needs of all of our communities, including creating millions of new, green jobs.</span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial"> </span></span></div>
<div><span style="font-size:medium"><span style="font-family:Arial">Making these connections will only be as strong as our presence within the One Nation Working Together movement. This means being part of the local organizing coalitions that are already in place, or building new ones in the cities where they don't exist yet. It means turning out massive numbers of people in Washington, DC on 10.2.10. And it means helping us build the peace presence there.</span></span></div>
