[Peace-presence] March for Peace nearing Carson needs HELP!

[Bob Tregilus]

Folks - 

Currently, there are two determined marchers. They
have a vision that thousands will join them before
they reach Washington DC. But they need your help to
cross the Nevada desert! 

Please call Ashley with any support you can offer. 

Do you know someone in Austin, Eureka, or Ely that may
be able to help our marchers? Please contact Ashley at
845-264-3912 and offer words of support - or better
yet - a promise to provide lodging when they arrive in
Carson City around June 3-4. Can you offer vehicle
support for a few miles going east on Highway 50?
Bring them a hot meal? Join their march? 

If YOU don't help, who will?

Excerpt from Not In Our Name newsletter:

As this newsletter arrives in mailboxes, marchers will
be passing through Placerville, California. Having
been featured in extensive local news coverage in the
S.F. Bay Area, and joining an Iraq veteran in a
Memorial Day protest action at the Capital Building in
Sacramento, there is a bit of a buzz surrounding the
march. These courageous marchers are determined - and
your support is needed. How you can get involved:

Organize car support and housing for marchers -

Check the march route to see if you know groups or
individuals who can provide car support to the
marchers. Driving the heavy packs that the marchers
are carrying ahead to their day's final destination
helps spirits and stamina. Call Not in Our Name to
apply to house the marchers along their route.

Support and a place to spend the night will go a long
way in keeping these youth 'on the road'.

Get the story out to the press -

Write and call local and national media outlets to
alert them to the story of the March. In an age where
war, repression, and acceptance of the two are the
norm, a group of young people taking such a courageous
stand for peace is truly unique. Write an Op-Ed as the
marchers pass through your area, contact local TV and
radio stations to feature the marchers, or simply
forward this email on. Video of the marchers
explaining their reasons for undertaking this journey
and their dreams for its effect on the world can be
found here.

Join the March! -

March initiator Ashley Casale, an 18 year old just out
of her freshman year at Wesleyan University in
Connecticut told press in San Francisco that she hoped
to reach Washington D.C. with thousands on the march.
The sentiment against the war and for peaceful
alternatives is such that we believe this march can
grow. Make contact with the march through their
website.
