Hi all --
(Please read all the way to the bottom to see how you can help...)
Only a few more weeks until the People's Party in JP from 5-10 pm on the green space in front of the Stony Brook T station.
This is the culmination of many months of work -- which brought together a wide range of folks from around the city with a vision for how to respond to the DNC. We came up with the following:
Our message -- FUND THE DREAM.
Our action -- A PEOPLE'S PARTY TO COINCIDE WITH THE DELEGATES' PARTY!!
Our audience -- COMMUNITY MEMBERS, THE MEDIA, AND THE DEMOCRATIC DELEGATES WHO WILL BE PARTYING IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD!
What will happen at the party?
-- open stage and mic
-- food, music, stilt walking, puppets
-- games to educate and change the world: pin the money on the budget;
search for weapons of mass destruction; create a mural; contribute to an open letter to the Delegates; build a model house that symbolizes your vision of home.
-- help carry a 70-foot backbone puppet in a snake march through the neighborhood as we drop in on the Delegate Parties and attempt to deliver our open letters
-- meet everyone from ACE activists in hazmat suits to Dennis Kucinich; from "Billionaires for Bush" to Chuck Turner; from local musicians to famous band members.
-- also invited/planned/hoped-for: a re-enactment of the Fannie Lou Hamer 1964 speech to the DNC; a visit from Danny Glover, Jessie Jackson, and others in town for the DNC; a presentation from the political prisoners' group, "Presente!"
This will be the best party in town. The place to kick off the DNC by saying what people in Boston communities stand for.
Please join us. Please spread the word all around the neighborhood.
Here's how you can help.
Contact me to help with:
-- outreach
-- planning the program
-- set up and clean up
-- food
