Join the PRESENCE for DEMOCRACY and PEACE!

December 4th: Open Mic. "Speak Out Against the War" – its illegality and mounting cost in lives and squandered resources. Bring signs and banners, handouts and other materials to pass out to the State Street shoppers. End the Occupations – Iraq, Afghanistan, and Palestine. Support the Troops – Bring Them Home, Now!

December 11th: Open Mic "Speak Out for Democracy, Fair Elections and Support of Civil Liberties". Groups and individuals are invited to raise their voice, bring signs and display boards, props, leaflets and petitions geared to the holiday crowd. An opportunity to spread the word on various campaigns in defense of democracy, constitutional guarantees and demands for fair and transparent elections.

December 18th: An alternative Holiday Presence. Bring puppets and musical instruments. Perform street theater. A sing-along with anti-war carols. A coming together of opposition voices, all those for peace and democracy. Bring handouts with re-written carols, and flyers reminding shoppers about the origins of the Holiday Season and where it all began.
