World Can't Wait. What do you all know about them?
I've seen their website and I'm pretty sure I've seen contigents at marches, but is anyone here involved?

My friend at work brought a flier into work that her daughters got at their high school about a protest on November 2. She wants to make sure it's legit before she lets her daughters get involved. I told her I thought it was but figured you fabulous DUers could tell us more about it.

Thanks!

But other than that, they're cool :evilgrin:

3. Hey, I kid you not...
worldcantwait.org is an offshoot of refuseandresist.org, which is the public-relations-friendly site of the RCP.

Personally, I think World Can't Wait and similar organizations can offer a lot to the antiwar movement, but they need to be taken with a grain of salt.

As to whether your impressionable children should be hanging out with RCP organizers... well, I'll leave that for you to decide :)

4. Oh, I thought you were kidding.
Well on the face of it the protest seems legit anyway. The RCP seems a little out there, but I agree the WCW organization seems to have a strong anti-war stance which I like. Well, they're not my kids so I'll see what my friend thinks. Thanks!
