Event Listings October 5 - Day of Mass Resistance On Thursday, OCTOBER 5TH 2006: All day and into the night, across the country, we must decidedly break the paralysis that still grips too much of American political life. Taking off work, taking off school, shutting down campuses and coming together in mass gatherings, we must let the country and the world know that: ---millions of us reject this illegitimate regime that is as criminal as it is dangerous to humanity & the existence of this planet. ---we refuse to grow accustomed to a political climate that is becoming everyday more frightening & reactionary. We are what we've been waiting for. On October 5th we will make a breach in the walls being cemented all around us to say Enough! with mass political action that does not compromise with torture & unjust wars, that rejects bowing down to theocrats and the immorality of empire. On October 5 join us in a day of honest, courageous resistance. What will you do to take responsibility for the future? Change the course of history. This regime does not represent us and we will drive it out! Submit a local event. Los Angeles, CA 2006-10-05
