Oct. 5th is to be a day of nationwide resistance against the Bush regime and their policies of inequity, lies and death. Please consider refusing to work, go to school or be otherwise complacent for this one important day of all of our lives. If this mass demonstration makes an impact, who knows? We may yet see a day when the people have a voice again. Even if you’re a cynic, it couldn’t hurt to take a day off, log off your computer and join your brothers and sisters, in solidarity, on the street.

All Day and Into the Night
The Loop
12 NOON- GRANT PARK (Jackson and Columbus)

4:30PM- FEDERAL PLAZA (Jackson and Dearborn)

INTO THE NIGHT: GRANT PARK (Jackson and Columbus)

DESCRIPTION:

All day and into the night, people will flood downtown Chicago making our determination to drive out this criminal regime known to the world! Nothing about this day will be just your "go through the motions- rally and march" protest-as-usual! Early in the day, students will walk out of school- even shut down whole campuses, people will refuse to go to work and bring their entire families, and converge with thousands in the heart of downtown at GRANT PARK. Here we begin a festival of resistance with fiery indictments of the most dangerous force in history, the Bush regime, from voices of conscience from all walks of life.

Then we will step off together and spread this movement throughout the Loop, our collective voices reverberating off the surrounding buildings and rising up to the sky! Hundreds of thousands of people downtown will be wondering what will happen that day and as our voices fill the air, they will rush to the windows and see that WE ARE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR; WE ARE TRULY MAKING RESISTANCE IRRESISTIBLE! We'll be spreading the word to many more - distributing literature and materials that will make their way into workplaces, shopping centers, and restaurants; calling on everyone to join us after work as we make known our aim to drive out this regime throughout downtown Chicago including right at the Federal Building!

Many thousands more will join us here and will continue with us as we step off and back to Grant Park where we will continue the festival with musical and theatrical performances, and the biggest and baddest open-mic you've ever seen in your life! And all the way into the night, we'll be strategizing on where to go from here to fulfill our real aim of DRIVING OUT THE BUSH REGIME!
