[Peace-discuss] 7:30 Wednesday 4/6, YMCA: labor + anti-war strategy meeting

[Jenifer Cartwright]

     Sorry, but I don't want to plan a common strategy!!      The anti-war movement has all but vanished, in spite of the majority of US electorate's opposing the continuation of wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, etc, while the workers' rights movement is alive and well and poised to be huge, something we have a chance of winning if we all get behind it, stay focused and strong, and keep it simple.      Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know it's all connected, I really do... and it really is, of course. And after we win this one, we can get back to teaching folks about- and working to improve the many many other things that are wrong.  But turning workers' rights protests into a peace march (or general gripe parade) isn't the way to go. Jmho.      In Solidarity,       --Jenifer

Sarah Lazare mentioned at yesterday's rally at Alma Mater:
they're holding a meeting at the YMCA, tomorrow (Wednesday), 4/6,
at 7:30pm [I think!], for anti-war and labor activists to meet
and plan common strategy.

Seemed especially appropriate at a rally on the anniversary of
the assassination of M.L.King, as one who had pointed out links
between the destructiveness of war and the suppression of workers'
and poor people's rights.

I believe Sarah aims to broadcast a more detailed announcement,
including the YMCA room number, but wanted to get this on the table.
Not sure who-all is planning this but it sounds interesting.
