An Announcement.... Fort Fed Up In D.C.

[ChiciB1]

I received this email recently, I don't know if this is something that has been posted or not because I recently had to back off from all the political madness because it was driving me CRAZY! Yesterday was really the first day "back" to watching the news and or emailing and blogging so I suppose I'm a little rusty. I have been wanting ACTION as opposed to just chatting and this caught my eye. Does anyone here know of this movement and if so what are your thoughts?

I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post this whole thing so if not, please advise.
Thank you.

Cindy Sheehan to Move Camp to National Mall
Cindy Sheehan and activists in the growing peace movement plan to move Camp Casey to the National Mall in Washington, D.C., September 8 - 21. The camp on the Mall will carry the name Camp Democracy at Fort Fed Up. Organizers intend the camp to bring together peace activists with activists for social justice, united in demanding a shift of public resources from war to the needs of people. Participants will lobby Congress to end all funding of the occupation of Iraq, and will demand that Congress hold the Bush Administration accountable for the falsehoods that launched the war and the abuses of power here at home that have accompanied it. Camp Democracy is launching an outreach effort to include organizations in the planning of the camp's activities, which are all in the initial stages. Organizations already on board are listed on the website:

Participating organizations and guest experts and celebrities will provide workshops and training sessions on a wide range of issues, as well as on communications, voter registration, nonviolent civil disobedience, lobbying, organizing, media production, and performance arts. Congress Members and congressional candidates will take part. Local elected officials will instruct attendees on participation in local government. Musicians will perform concerts. New films will be shown on a large screen. Participants will acquire useful skills while demanding fundamental change.

2. I'm giving you your 3rd Recommend. Hope some others drop by soon.

Give Cindy our love -- we're with her in spirit, but more war has broken out in the Middle East, and DUers' attention is divided.
