Just got this e-mail for UFPJ. I wish I get to NYC Thursday:

<< Please forward! >>
NY ACTION ALERT * UNITED FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE
http://www.unitedforpeace.org | 212-868-5545
============================================
EMERGENCY PROTEST >> THIS THURSDAY, 6:00PM
*Demand an End to the Escalation of U.S. Violence in Iraq*
*Break the Silence about Iraqi Civilian Deaths*
*Bring the Troops Home Now*

WHERE: Times Square Armed Forces Recruiting Station, NYC
WHEN: Thursday, October 14, 2004 at 6pm
============================================

While the U.S. news media has been exclusively focused on the
presidential election, the nightmare in Iraq has grown immeasurably worse.
Yesterday, in one of a series of recent bloody airstrikes, the U.S. bombed a
wedding in Falluja (“If a wedding was going on, well, it was in concert
with a meeting with a top Zarqawi lieutenant,” a Pentagon official
rather improbably claimed.)

The current upturn in violence is only a prelude to a publicly
announced military offensive planned for after the election, designed to
recapture cities under the control of insurgents, which will almost certainly
take the lives of many more Iraqis and U.S. servicepeople.

Join us in front of the Times Square Armed Forces Recruiting Station
this Thursday at 6:00PM to break this silence and show our opposition to
the escalating U.S. slaughter in Iraq! Come by our office (209 W. 38th
Street, 9th floor) beforehand to pick up signs, or bring your own
signs, banners or other creative visual aids.

We also need volunteers to help assemble cardboard coffins in our
office beginning at 3:00PM (209 W. 38th Street, 9th floor).

UFPJ has secured a permit for this demonstration.
