UPDATE: Sunday Oct 6 protest in L.A.

Not In Our Name

www.notinourname.net

We have an amazing lineup of 30+ speakers, musicians, spoken word, and more - in addition to the march itself.

Hip hop, folk, Sonali Kolhatkar from KFPK and the Afghanistan Women's Mission, Tibetan gongs, Blase Bonpane from the Office of the Americas, DJ's, ministers, and lots more I can't recall right now now! A diverse and talented lineup. Response has been huge, we've had to turn away speakers and musicians because we can't fit everyone in.

These protests are happening in twenty two cities so far. Among the other big cities are San Francisco, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Seattle, and, of course, New York City.

L.A. demonstration

Sunday Oct 6, 1-6 PM

Federal Building in Westwood.

11000 Wilshire.

1 block east of the 405 fwy, between Sepulveda and Veteran

1 PM: Rally - speakers, spoken word, music

2 PM: March to U.S. Army Reserve/California National Guard (Wilshire and Federal)

3 PM: Return to Federal Bldg. More music, poetry, speakers.

Direction/parking:

Exit the San Diego (405) on Wilshire East. If Wilshire off ramps are closed by police, get off at the next exit, follow Sepulveda to Wilshire. Parking could be problematic. Arrive early! Pay parking available in Westwood. There is also some street parking. Parking not allowed in Federal Building lots.

A quick explanation

An idea:

Since this is a war for oil, let's not drive our personal vehicles to this event. Walk, bike, tricycle, unicycle, MTA it to the demo. In order to avoid war, we may have to make sacrifices in our "lifestyles", why not voluntarily start on October 6th?

I agree - how about providing bus directions too? Westwood has a number of bus routes running through it, both MTA and Santa Monica Blue Buses. The #1 Blue Bus will drop you at the corner of Wilshire and Westwood; there are at least 5 other buses that will drop you off in the same area.
