[HNA] announce Digest, Vol 4, Issue 17

[Julie Feeney]

Good job Kaveri, Simon and crew. It was great to see you all out at the rally, have a speaker and the t-shirts look great.  Keep up the good work!

If there is no struggle, there is no progress.

Those who profess to favor freedom and yet deprecate agitation

Are men who want crops without plowing the ground.

They want rain without thunder and lightening.

They want the ocean without the awful roar of its waters.

Power concedes nothing without a demand.

It never did, and it never will.

-Frederick Douglass

Eight Years of War, How Many More? New England Rallies Against Wars and
Occupation JOIN THE STUDENT CONTINGENT!!!!!(look for the banner of the
student contingent and let us march together and make this movement happen!)
   *No more U.S. Predator drone missiles!!!*

*All troops home now from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq!*

*End the siege of Gaza and all US support for the occupation of Palestine!*

*Fund Jobs, Health Care and Environmental Protection, not War & Nuclear
Weapons!*

*TOMORROW, Saturday, October 17, noon, at Copley Square, Boston* we will
march and rally to protest the Afghanistan/Pakistan war, the continued
occupation of Iraq, the militarist U.S. policies with respect to Palestine,
Iran, and nuclear weapons, and the impact of the military budget on human
needs at home.

As the Obama administration weighs whether to further escalate troop levels
in Afghanistan, the moment could not be more timely to raise our voices in
protest!

Music starts at noon featuring hip-hop/jazz ensemble Mista Mayday with
Above/Below <http://oct17boston.org/program/mista-mayday-with-abovebelow>,
soul/funk/rockers Bojah and the
Insurrection<http://oct17boston.org/program/bojah-and-the-insurrection>,
and the Constitution Brass Band.

A rally at 1:00 will be addressed by a variety of informative
speakers<http://oct17boston.org/program>including:

   - Afghan women's rights activist
Zoya<http://justicewithpeace.org/afghan-zoya-bio>who is
   lecturing <http://justicewithpeace.org/afghan-zoya> throughout the Boston
   area this week
   - military resister Matthis
Cheroux<http://oct17boston.org/program/matthis-cheroux>
   - veteran and longtime peace activist John
Schuchardt<http://oct17boston.org/program/john-schuchardt>
   - military mom Sarah Fuhro <http://oct17boston.org/program/sarah-fuhro>
   - organizers for immigrants' rights, housing rights, climate change,
   redirecting the military budget, ending the Gaza blockade, and opposing the
   Honduras coup.

The rally will be MC'd by satirical singer-songwriter Roy Zimmerman
<http://oct17boston.org/program/roy-zimmerman>and antiwar activist Marilyn
Levin.

Led by the brass band and the colorful Veterans for Peace contingent, at
3:00 the group will march from Copley Square to the Common and return to
Copley.

The mobilization has eight demands:

   - *All troops home now from Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq!*
   - *End the siege of Gaza and all US support for the occupation of
   Palestine!*
   - *Fund Jobs, Health Care and Environmental Protection, not War & Nuclear
   Weapons!*
   - *Ground the Drones!*
   - *Bring the National Guard Home Now!*
   - *No Threats against Iran or North Korea!*
   - *Human and Civil Rights for All? No Torture, Racist Deportations, or
   Scapegoating Muslims.  Repeal the PATRIOT Act!*
   - *Break All Ties With the Honduran Dictatorship!*
