All pulling together to achive success
Jesse Kern
Rally and March for Peace and Justice in Orlando on
October 27th 2007
THE WORK OF THE ORLANDO HOST COMMITTEE.
Prior to that event, each Sunday for eight weeks,
meetings were held in Orlando's main downtown library,
to discuss and plan out the event, line up the
speakers
and perform all the necessary steps required to draw
large numbers to "The Oct 27th event"
Since that event, the Host Committee has
continued meeting and having discussions about
broadening our committee to include leaders and
community activist in the Tampa-Bay Community and
those communities to the South and West of Tampa.
I have attend all meetings in Orlando, as the
Self-designated Tampa-Bay Organizer, for the October
27th Event, but have not been able to attend the two
meetings that were held after Oct 27th.
The purpose of this letter is to inquire of those
activist (Tampa-Bay) if you are prepared to hold
several joint meetings with our Comrades in Orlando
and surrounding communities, for the purpose of
continued discussions, and planning of significant
joint actions to demonstrate the presence in our State
of a vigorous Anti-War Force.
I am suggesting a Tampa-Bay group of at least 30+
that would meet and invite our Orlando counterparts to
join us here in Saint Pete, to explore any and all
ways to fight the War, defeat pro War candidates,
drive military recruiters out of our schools. In just
a few words Sharply raise the level of struggle to one
of confrontation (with the anticipation that many
youth would be stirred into action, by such
determined actions (there were hundreds of vigorous
college students marching in support of the Coalition
of Immokalee Workers, on their Miami March.
There is a great deal of interest on the part of a
core group of members of Veterans For Peace Chapter
119, that would be interested in being part of this
determined group.
Please get back to me on this
with your ideas, and proposals
Jesse
Tampa-bay coordinator
Orlando Host Committee.
