G8 2004: Savannah, GA USA will be the flashpoint for free speech action. Help us give the G8 a taste of "Real" Southern Hospitality.
International Festival
PLEASE CONTRIBUTE
http://www.repealnow.com/g8.htm
We need your assistance.
As you know, the G8 Summit will be staged on June 8-10, 2004 on Sea Island, Georgia.
But much of the focus of the protest action will take place in Savannah, Ga.
The National Coalition to Repeal the Patriot Act, along with regional activists, is in the process of developing several protest activities in Savannah, among them the Festival for Peace and Civil Liberties. The Festival will include a Rally/Concert,featuring top line musical acts and progressive political leaders.
Here is the fight at hand.
Apparently, local and federal authorities are attempting to thwart any organized protest events at the June G8. They are doing this by commandeering--literally booking up--local auditoriums, arenas and stadiums that are normally available to event producers. The use of local school system properties has been prohibited, we have been told. One local college has been forced to shut its doors early in order to get students out of town! ("See G8 Overkill" http://www.savannahnow.com/stories/120403/OPE_opedgraduation.shtml
We must beat them at their game!
One of the first venues we must secure is the Savannah Civic Center Arena. To accomplish this we must put down a booking deposit of $1250.00.
Put simply, we are short right now, we need some cash.
Here is how you can help.
We need at least 125 G8 Protest Supporters to donate at least $10.00 by PayPal. Contributions may also be mailed to the address listed below.
If you can give more, then we welcome it because there are other fees and permits that must be paid for. But the heat is on to get the Civic Center Arena. There is a rumor circulating that the Savannah Police Dept. may attempt to use the arena as a staging area and detention center for protesters. We can deny them that pleasure.
Please help.
