RISE Against Bush
\nSHINE For A Peaceful Tomorrow<\/p>\n
A Call for Anti-War Actions in Washington, DC, January 20, 2005<\/p>\n
Every morning, the sun rises up, penetrating and overcoming the darkness
\nof night. What once was dark becomes bright, changed by the force of the
\nsun’s rays.<\/p>\n
Our world is in darkness tonight, plagued with war, poverty, environmental
\ndestruction, and attacks on many of the liberties that so many of us hold
\ndear. The darkness over our world has grown yet darker with the election
\nof George W. Bush to another 4 years in office.<\/p>\n
In the dark of the night, we need only wait for the sun. However, in the
\ndark of our world, we cannot wait. If we are to see a new dawn, we must
\ntake action now. The DC Anti-War Network (DAWN) calls on the people of
\nthe world to RISE Against Bush and SHINE For A Peaceful Tomorrow.<\/p>\n
We RISE
\n\u00b7 Against the needless slaughter in and occupation of Iraq;
\n\u00b7 Against the assault on civil liberties, as represented by such acts as
\nthe Patriot Act and the immoral detentions at Guantanamo Bay;
\n\u00b7 Against US support of the Israeli government’s denial of human rights against the Palestinian people;
\n\u00b7 Against U.S. overthrow of Aristide in Haiti;
\n\u00b7 Against U.S. attempts to overthrow any other democratically elected
\nleader, including Hugo Chavez in Venezuela;
\n\u00b7 Against any U.S. military action in Iran.<\/p>\n
We SHINE
\n\u00b7 For a world that embraces peaceful dialogue instead of war;
\n\u00b7 For a world where we respect the liberty of all beings;
\n\u00b7 For a world that looks out for all those who are now oppressed,
\nincluding the poor, women, racial minorities, workers, the disabled,
\ngays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgendered, as well as the earth and its creatures;
\n\u00b7 For a world that embraces social justice;
\n\u00b7 For democracy and the autonomy of all people to have a full say in how
\nthey are governed;
\n\u00b7 For each other.<\/p>\n
The Call
\nDAWN calls for people all over the nation and world to converge on
\nWashington, DC, on the day of George W. Bush’s Inauguration, January 20,
\n2005, for peaceful anti-war actions.<\/p>\n
While DAWN is coordinating with many groups for a day of actions, DAWN
\ncalls additionally for these specific actions:<\/p>\n
1. A permitted nonviolent anti-war rally followed by a march to Bush’s
\ninaugural parade route
\n2. A nonviolent civil disobedience die-in, following the rally, in
\nmemorial to the dead at the hands of Bush and his Administration<\/p>\n
DAWN also calls for organizations, affinity groups, and individuals to
\npartner with us in organizing these two actions.<\/p>\n
