April 29 March for Peace, Justice and Democracy

End the War -- Bring All the Troops Home Now -- Turn this Country Around!

The president's approval ratings keep tanking ... and momentum is building for the massive April 29th demonstration.

We all know the country is heading in the wrong direction -- April 29 will be a powerful occasion to unite for change. The event has already received more than 900 endorsements -- ranging from the Hip Hop Caucus to the Communications Workers of America to the National Council of Churches. Click here to join this growing list!

The website for the April 29 March for Peace, Justice, and Democracy in New York City is up and running at www.april29.org. Visit the site today to download leaflets, find out how to order posters, get information about transportation and housing, sign up to volunteer and more.

While you're visiting the website, download one of our web buttons and add it to your website or blog, to help spread the word about this not-to-be-missed protest.

We are still in negotiations with the NYC police over the route, so we can't yet announce where to assemble, but we can tell you that it will be in a central Manhattan location, with the march stepping off at noon. We will share more details as soon as they are available. There will be places for organized contingents to gather, although we will not be able to begin assigning spots until the route is finalized.

The march will proceed through the streets of New York City and culminate with a massive action-oriented festival, featuring hundreds of grassroots groups and campaigns. There will be tents dedicated to different issues and themes; exhibits, displays, and information; street performers; and much more. We will not be holding a traditional rally. Groups wishing to table at the festival will soon be able to sign up for space at www.april29.org -- keep checking back.
