PEACE RALLY in DC ...Be there, but read this first! ~ *(repost from GD)*

[In_The_Wind]

How much can you help? How much can you offer? If you are coming to DC September 24-26, please consider coming earlier and helping out in a major way:

Hi UFPJ volunteers--

We are in urgent need of people who can serve as peacekeepers during the September 24th weekend mobilization events.

You don't need to have any prior experience, because we will train you in everything you need to know. However, to participate you must be able to maintain a cool head and to stay on your feet and remain active for long periods of time.

Peacekeepers are trained to maintain security at large events by learning techniques of crowd direction, de-escalation of tensions on site between individuals and by working with legal observers and police officers.

The greatest need for peacekeepers will be on Saturday, Sept. 24th, during the antiwar rally and march. We would prefer that peacekeepers be available to participate for the entire day, but we will try to accomodate peacekeepers who are only available for shorter blocks of time.

It is also possible that we may need peacekeepers for the Sept. 26th non-violent civil disobedience actions.

In order to participate as a peacekeeper, you MUST attend one of the training sessions to be held on Thursday, Sept. 22nd and Friday, Sept. 23rd in Washington, DC.

If you are interested and able to serve as a peacekeeper during the Sept. 24th or Sept. 26th events, please contact us immediately at [e-mail] .

13. We served as "Peacekeepers" during the G-8 in Savannah

And took the training as given by F.O.R. (Fellowship of Reconcilliation)

There's no way we could get there for this training, but if you need any stand-by people we'd be glad to help.
