Central New Yorkers Unite as Election Draws Near
Contact: Jessica Maxwell, 472-5478
Energized by recent demonstrations and the presidential debates, voters from the greater Syracuse area and across the state are uniting to spread their message that “Bush Must Go.” A demonstration sponsored by the Syracuse Peace Council is scheduled for Sunday, October 17 at 2 pm on the MOST lawn in Armory Square in downtown Syracuse.
Central New Yorkers will gather to draw attention to the Bush agenda and its affect on our state and our nation. “Whether it’s the war in Iraq, civil liberties, or unemployment, the vast majority of Central New Yorkers are being hurt by the policies of the current administration,” notes event organizer Andy Mager. “We believe it is important to come together to share our concerns and consider how we can act to rebuild our community and nation based on the values we profess—equality, justice, democracy and peace.”
Performers at the rally will include local poet Georgia Popoff, folk singer Colleen Kattau, and the Syracuse System Shakers Radical Cheerleaders.
The Syracuse Peace Council is a grassroots organization committed to creating a world of peace and justice through education, agitation and organizing. This event is free and open to the general public. For further information, call 472-5478 or e-mail the Peace Council at jessica@peacecouncil.net.
