Urgent: Rallies this Sunday, October 6th!
As the Senate and Congress, against the expressed wishes of their
constituents, march ahead to grant Bush the warmaking power he wants, it's
vital to keep up public resistance to the War in Iraq. The next events
scheduled are rallies organized by the Not In Our Name coalition.
Below are posted times and dates for October 6 rallies in many locations.
I'll be at the one in San Francisco. (I admit that I also had a hand in
writing the pledge, together with hip hop artist Saul Williams. It sounds
especially good when he performs it). these should all be safe, legal, and
empowering—and a large showing will help to build the momentum of opposition
we are going to need!

Not In Our Name Pledge of Resistance
We believe that as people living in the United States
It is our responsibility
to resist the injustices
done by our government, in our names
Not in our name
will you wage endless war
there can be no more deaths
no more transfusions of blood for oil
Not in our nam
e
will you invade countries
bomb civilians, kill more children
letting history take its course
over the graves of the nameless
Not in our name
will you erode the very freedoms
you‚ve claimed to fight for
Not by our hands
will we supply weapons and funding
for the annihilation of families
on foreign soil
Not by our mouths
will we let fear silence us
Not by our hearts
will we allow whole peoples
or countries to be deemed evil
Not by our will
and Not in our name
We pledge resistance
We pledge alliance with those
who have come under attack
for voicing opposition to the war
or for their religion or ethnicity
We pledge to make common cause
with the people of the world
to bring about justice freedom and peace
Another world is possible
and we pledge to make it real
See the website for Not in Our Name for more information about the project.
