The mobilization for the Israel Solidarity rally is in full gear and tremendous interest already has been generated. All Conference member agencies, federations, CRCs, many schools and campuses are actively engaged in organizing buses, trains and flights to Washington, and the program committee is meeting. The Washington offices of several Conference member agencies are working closely with the Jewish Federation of Greater Washington and the Jewish Council of Greater Washington to secure the venue, staging and other many other arrangements.

Theme Solidarity with Israel as it defends itself against terror and violence, and support for the campaign against global terrorism.

Venue The rally will be held at the US Capitol. The exact location will be forthcoming.

For the first time in my life I'm looking forward to April 15. Not only is the Israel Solidarity rally scheduled for 12:00 but the National Taxpayer Rally is set to begin at 9:30 am, also on the Capitol Grounds.

I know that many Capitol Area Freepers are already planning to be there to support you as well as to lend our voices to thousands of taxpayers at the earlier rally.

What a great opportunity to spend what will hopefully be a beautiful Spring day in Washington for two very worthy causes.

Peace

You have to the finest organizer in the world to stage a rally (worth attending) in 5 days in DC. And you still don't have a permit and you don't know where? You are inviting trouble from everyone.

[Nix 2]

BTTT
You goin'?

[Nix 2]

AMEN, Brother.

[RamsNo1]

On another thread...the PLO was evicted from its Wash DC office today!

[veronica]

BTTT.

[Buckeroo]

You don't control anything in DC but perhaps your own relief of bodily waste in DC. Even then you have to pay for the potties.
