There will be a meeting thursday June 8 around 7, 7:30, to start organizing some of the pachanga details--music, food, guerrilla theater actions, etc., in preparation for the June 12 organizational meeting. Still working on securing the location, but it should be somewhere in central LA, near downtown. Please email RASKACHE-AT-YAHOO-DOT-COM to receive more info. If you can help with music, food, logistics, performance/teatro, puppetry, kids' activities, please get in touch.

here is the original post on indymedia:

to clarify a little bit: this is not simply a call to "party" and not worry about the very real and serious threat these SOS/MM people pose. It is an effort to counter their violence without falling into the traps they are setting for us with media, police, and provocation of violence. Everybody is scared, on all sides, and fear leads to anger leads to hate leads to the dark side, que no, yoda? We can't fall into their trap of fear. We can't let them dictate our responses. We have to stay on our toes and be creative in how we defend ourselves. This is not a passive stance. Please don't let them close your minds the way theirs are--in the end, that is their ultimate goal.

peace love rage
