(find one near you!)

info coming soon...

AND DON'T FORGET:

IF YOU WANT TO LAUNCH AN ORANGE FRIDAY EVENT NEAR YOU, OR HAVE AN EVENT YOU THINK WOULD BE A GREAT PLACE TO BRING -DECLARE IT NOW- LET US KNOW!

 

   
WE'D LIKE TO POST YOUR EVENT ON OUR SITE!

Strategy:

1) Reaching Youth via Major Rock Concerts : WCW is producing tens of thousands more orange bandanas saying "Drive Out the Bush Regime" for use at Rock the Bells , The Warped Tour , and other large music concerts, building on the successful model of Coachella last Spring. We'll distribute new buttons, shirts, and BCC DVD's aiming for organization on the Campuses in coming weeks.

2) Gaining ground in Newspapers, Internet, and Radio: Leading into July 27th, we will do INTERNET ADS on the most viewed progressive websites, We've begun putting up PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENTS with people saying why they are Declaring It Now. And in Mid-August, we plan to run an ad, or a series of "banner" ads with Declare It Now posters, reaching millions of people.

And in Mid-September, as Bush addresses the United Nations on September 19th, we'll do another FULL PAGE Ad in the New York Times.

3) Truth Squads: Challenging the Candidates:
Orange needs to be brandished by “Truth Squads” of people confronting the candidates about torture, war crimes, and the fascist re-making of this society. Postcards with ready-made questions will be distributed so that everyone can be ready.

(possible Labor Day conference)

(protests when Bush comes to UN on September 19; DC protests Sept 11, 15, 22 and 29)

Is impeachment really too divisive for Congress to tackle? Isn't it just a political diversion from the real work that needs to be done? Or is impeachment an essential constitutional remedy whose time has come? What damage can be done before January 2009, and what happens if this administration is not held accountable? Peter Phillips will address the question of impeachment and the role that only we the people can play in reversing the disastrous course of this regime.

Peter Phillips is professor of sociology at Sonoma State University and director of Project Censored. He is the co-editor with Dennis Loo of Impeach the President: The Case Against Bush and Cheney . Dr. Phillips' book Censored: Media Democracy in Action is now in its tenth edition. Both are published by Seven Stories Press.

This event is sponsored by Citizens for Transparency in Government and the Chicago Chapter of World Can't Wait - Drive Out the Bush Regime.

Orange Outrage Friday

Join us at Jackson & State 4:30 - 6:00. Wear orange. Read more about Declare it Now! and Orange Fridays all over the country.

Saturday: Bud Billiken Day parade

Join us at the 78th Annual Bud Billiken Parade . It's the largest parade in an African-American community in the U.S. Last year, 74,000 people participated in the parade, over a million lined the parade route on Chicago's south side. Contact chicago@worldcantwait.org to join the WCW crew marching in the peace contingent and taking the Declare It Now! Drive Out the Bush Regime message to the southside.

Saturday: Protest at Blackwater in Illinois

Protest at the gates of the Blackwater Corporation's new training facility in JoDavies County, near Galena, Illinois. Blackwater Corporation employs private armies throughout the world, including Iraq, Afghanistan and in the aftermath of Katrina. Investigative reporter and author Jeremy Scahill describes Blackwater as "a politically connected private army” that “has in effect declared its forces above the law" and has won nearly $1 billion in noncovert government contracts, many of them no-bid arrangements. Information about the protest and how to get there: www.noprivatearmies.org and www.ilcpj.org
