Help Raise $100,000 so millions can learn about this growing movement.
This drive is a concerted effort to rely on the people broadly in this movement to raise funds urgently needed to reach millions of people quickly with the need and possibility of really mass outpourings on October 5. This short concentrated push is part of expanding out, bringing new people to our movement, who can in turn be part of reaching further and into new sections of society, and raising more funds to in turn impact more broadly.
It’s time for people to act in ways above and beyond what they would
normally do to stop the Bush Regime.
Off the momentum created by our NY Times ad, there is an
urgent need for millions more to connect with this movement to drive out the
Bush regime and mobilize for massive protest on October 5th.
The statement “There
is a Way; There is a Day!” describes how Thursday, October 5 can
become a day where our collective will is expressed so powerfully in the
streets that it cannot be ignored, but instead begins to set whole different
terms for politics; terms that do not compromise with torture or unjust wars
and do not bow down to theocrats and intolerance.
Not enough people know about this movement yet! To
reach out even 
further, we are in
the midst of a two-week fundraising campaign to raise $100,000 for advertising by
August 16th.
World
Can’t Wait chapters and supporters are getting out in the streets across the
country distributing the WCW Call, shaking cans, asking for the money to drive
out this regime. Click here to get connected to a street team. Resources

On the weekend of the August 12/13, join us in an exciting weekend of
mass fundraising. Go out to your local
park, busy street corner, fair, community event or festival (wherever there are
a lot of people) with stacks of flyers, bags of buttons, and rolls of stickers, and big donation buckets that have
the donate
da dollars logo on it. Make yourself visible with large signs or banners –
go out boldly and make news get the word out about Oct. 5 and get the generous
contributions that are necessary to make it possible. Throw a house party or
barbeque.
