On May Day, the international worker’s holiday, longshore workers in the US are organizing to shut down major ports on the west coast in protest of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars. You can learn more about their action here: http://sbindymedia. org/for_workers_ strikes_against_ the_war

In solidarity with workers shutting down shipping lanes, we will shut down the street and hold a Reclaim the Streets party to send a strong message: Until the war ends, there will be no business as usual!

The atmosphere will be festive, with:
- Dancing
- Music
- Games
- Free Food
- Street Art
- Street Theater

Bring toys, games, costumes, art supplies, banners, and other implements of merrymaking!

*Please bring your battery-powered boom-boxes to be a part of the Anti-War Radio sound system - we want to be as loud as possible!*

Sarasota 4:00 pm, Thurs May 1 Meet at Pioneer Park on 12th and Cocoanut - From there we will march to the party

Housing for out of town activists is available, contact james.birmingham@ncf.edu to make arrangements
