NEW YORKERS SAY NO TO THE RNC

NEW YORKERS SAY NO TO THE RNC

For Immediate Release March 1, 2004 Contact Information NYC Summer, 212 340 9462, yvonne at riseup.net http://www.NYCsummer.org THE REPUBLICANS ARE COMING! New Yorkers Say NO to the RNC! New Yorkers involved in organizing against the Republican National Convention will outreach to voters on Super Tuesday. The RNC is scheduled to occur in Madison Square Garden, NYC from August 29 to September 4, 2004. We want to inform communities about the organizing efforts against the RNC, debunk myths by the mainstream media and city officials about the “violent” nature of the protests, and radicalize people to get involved. We call for New Yorkers in all neighborhoods to download the No RNC flyers (in Adobe Acrobat PDF format on the Indymedia newswire, you can obtain the reader for free at http://www.adobe.com) and distribute them in front of their local polling places. You can call the Voter Phone Bank at 1 866 VOTE NYC to find the location of your local polling place. We will have flyer teams in Hell’s Kitchen and Chelsea, residential communities close to Madison Square Garden, which you can join. Contact us to get in touch with the point persons. NYC Summer 2004, 100 Days of Democracy in Action, wants to create a new model of resistance through popular education, active solidarity for grassroots organization, and empowering local communities. Contact us to get involved with our projects. http://www.nycsummer.org
