4th of July Action!
Ala Moana Park
Signholding and Leafleting from 9-11 am
March from 11-12 am
Brown bag lunch from 12-1 pm
Ala Moana Park is packed with people on July 4th. Many have camped out all night and are just hanging out during the day waiting for the evening fireworks. Every year since 9/11 we've set up a tent across from the entrance to Magic Island. We've decorated it with big banners, set up tables with literature, and have used it as a base to do outreach throughout the park. Response has been great! This year we'll be primarily taking out anti-recruitment materials from 9-11 am, going from tent-to-tent to talk to people about recruitment and the war. Many will have family members in the military. Given the financial crises many of our local families face, some will undoubtedly be considering joining the military. This is an opportunity to both listen to experiences, and get into discussion and debate about the war. We also need people to hold anti-war signs at the entrance to the park (Diamond Head side). Just check in at the tent and pick up a sign (and water!). At 11 am we'll come together for a march through Ala Moana Park. The focus of the march will be "No Attack on Iran!" but we welcome all signs against war and militarism. This will not be an officially permitted march, but it is legal. We'll be using sidewalks and will be carrying small signs and placards. We need lots of drums, pots and pans -- and we'll be calling on people in the park to join us.

Freeze in Grand Central Station - "No Attack on Iran"! Meeting at 5pm on Lexington & 42nd Street; action to start at 5:30 p.m. We will not carry signs; we will spread out and at exactly 5:30 p.m. stop exactly where we are and hold that pose for 5 minutes. Our tee-shirts will carry the message. It is a silent protest: act like a mannequin! This is not an illegal action and will only take five minutes, but we will make an impact!

HITTING BERKELEY JULY 15, 2008:
WORLD CAN'T WAIT youth activists Rock the Boat!
World Can't Wait youth organizers are heading to Berkeley, CA to make this a summer of resistance by creating such an intense orange uprising that it will reverberate across the nation! Working collectively with other young people committed to repudiating the Bush program, they will contribute to reshaping the political landscape by focusing on making breakthroughs in stopping the military recruiters and working to fire, disbar and prosecute John Yoo, infamous author of the "torture memos". These summer plans are a crucial part of forging a new generation of leaders that refuse to be bound by "the politics of the possible" and mobilizing others to bring to a halt the whole Bush program that is still setting the terms for official politics today. World Can't Wait youth activists will work on making clear: the Bush Regime or any other administration has no right to recruit, invade and occupy. They are wrong to torture, justify it, and lie about it.
