Thousands Expected As Orlando Joins 10 U.S. Cities Mobilizing to End the War in Iraq
WHEN: Saturday, October 27, 2007 12:30 pm – 4:00 pm
WHERE: Rally at Lake Eola (NE corner). 3 mile march from Robinson to Paramore to Church St to Orange Ave to Central and returning to Eola Drive & Robinson.
On October 27, thousands of people from all walks of life will take to the streets in Orlando and 10 other cities as they host regional marches and rallies to end the War in Iraq and prevent new wars. The event in Orlando is expected to be the largest peace rally ever held in Florida. Local organizers from a variety of groups are working together to host the October 27 march, which is welcoming participants from throughout Florida and the greater Southeast.
Presidential candidate Mike Gravel is one of the speakers scheduled. As a US Senator, he led a one man filibuster to help end the American war on Vietnam. He has proven to be an unequivocal opponent of the war on Iraq. We will also feature labor, anti-war, faith and community organizers from around the state, sharing their visions for peace.
What you need to know: Rally starts at 12:30 and the march will begin nearly an hour later. Our main speakers will address us before and after the march. There will be water distributed before and during the march. There are bathrooms at the rally site and businesses along the way. Please help distribute flyers until the day of the event. You can find them and all the other resources you'll need below. Please consider holding a streetside solidarity protest in your community before the OCT27 rally in Orlando, to stir up interest and invite people who may not otherwise know. Leafleting to pedestrians and drivers has been very successful for us in Orlando. We plan to hold our next streetside protest soon. You should begin organizing yours.
