> Hi Deanna:

> stronger.
>
> We have organizing meetings every Tuesday at 6:30 pm at the Troops Out
> Now Coalition office at 5274 W. Pico Blvd in Los Angeles, room # 203.
> Our phone number is (323) 936-7266.
>
> What we have planned so far is a tent city at the Westwood Federal
> Building in Westwood for 3 days starting on September 22nd, then a
> march to the Downtown Federal Building in Los Angeles on the 25th where
> we'll set up a tent city there until the 29th. On the 29th we'll begin
> our march at 12 noon at the corners of Olympic and Broadway in Los
> Angeles. We will march back to the Downtown Federal Building where the
> rally will take place.
>
> The daily encampment themes are being discussed now but they will
> probably be close to the following:
>
> Immigration and Globalization - a worker's issue.
>
> Gender Oppression
>
> Labor and the war on workers
>
> Human Needs vs War
>
> U.S. occupations and militarism at home and abroad
>
> Racism, Repression and the Prison Industrial Complex
>
> With each of these themes we're hoping organizations will take a day or
> part of the day to do their own actions and teach-ins, cultural
> contributions and more. This is meant to be a very inclusive and united
> protest with all issues that are linked to ending this war now.
>
> If you get this in time you might want to let your contacts here in LA
> know about an immigrant rights demonstration taking place tomorrow
> (Saturday) at Olympic and Broadway at 12 Noon. Many of the organizers
> for the encampment will be at that demonstration also.
>
> Thanks again for getting in touch with us.
