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.
