After the attacks in Washington and the cancellation of the planned 2 day (already previously reduced from one week) IMF / World Bank meetings in Washington, the coalition behind the anti-capitalist convergence protests have decided to press ahead with protests but change them to an anti-war focus.
The Anti-Capitalist Convergence is issuing a new call to action and a revised scenario on Wednesday, September 19.
Come to Washington, DC for an anti-capitalist anti-war protest on September 29th...
The whole history of progress of human liberty shows that all concessions yet made to her august claims have been born of earnest struggle. If there is no struggle there is no progress.
Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet deprecate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground, they want rain without thunder and lightning, they want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters.
This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle. Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted. . .
