  • Location: Democratic National Convention in Denver
  • Description: Come to Denver & March Against the War at the Democratic Convetion Plans for a united, mass anti-war march on Sunday August 24, on the eve of the DNC (August 25-28) have come apart recently. Recreate 68 called the march, and the Alliance for Real Democracy has decided not to build for it. Leslie Cagan, writing on July 8 for the staff of United for Peace & Justice, to Alliance for Real Democracy activists said, “We don't think it makes sense to plan for a mass march that might not end up being all that mass!” indicating that the UFPJ does not plan to support a march, in favor of smaller actions aimed at delegates. We wish to send a different message in Denver! Sign this letter and help circulate the call around the country. http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/1170/t/4666/petition.jsp?petition_KEY=1313 I strongly and enthusiastically support your call to march at the Democratic National Convention in Denver this August and encourage everyone to join in these important and historic a
