The <br>  <br> organizers of the event have told us that they are preparing for an <br>  <br> attendance of 30,000 to 50,000, based on the volume of inquires they <br>  <br> are receiving, the number of buses that are being chartered, etc. -- <br>  <br> in other words, one of the biggest protests in years! <br><br> Congress left millions of peace-loving, non-violent Californians  <br>  <br> frustrated and feeling betrayed. Let's show them that the Green Party <br>  <br> is a political party that they can COUNT ON to stand up for Peace, <br>  <br> Justice and Democracy! <br><br> We are gathering at Justin Herman Plaza, at the foot of Market St. <br>  <br> (one block north of Embarcadero BART) -- look for the Green banners <br>  <br> and flags -- and wear Green!  We need at least 50 people to leaflet <br>  <br> during the march and rally, monitor our float, and other crucial <br>  <br> jobs.  If you can volunteer, please get to the edge of the Plaza, <br>  <br> near the Hyatt Hotel, by 10 am! (Otherwise, please try to arrive by <br>  <br> 11 am to join in the Green contingent!). <br><br> PLEASE SEND AN E-MAIL BACK to Starlene Rankin at <a href=\"mailto:starlene@greens.org\" rel=\"nofollow\">starlene@greens.org<\/a> <br>  <br> right away to confirm you will be joining us this Saturday!
