There are 2 events I know of:
1) noon 4/20 at the Fort Lauderdale beach at Las Olas, Oceana is creating
a mock oil spill and having a press conference.
2) noon 4/30 there is an anti-nuke action (demonstration, I guess) planned
at a national park near (in view of) Turkey Point nuke plant.
If you weren't aware of either of these and want me to send you more info,
please let me know.
Good luck!
Stephanie
