Come to Denver when the Democrats Meet: Protest August 23-28
World
Can't Wait will support many of those actions, and in addition, is planning
events related to Bringing the Bush Program to a HALT.

Come Up to Denver: comeuptodenver.org/
Only you -not your government- can bring
any of this to a halt. The only realistic course is for the
people of the U.S. to taking meaningful and independent political action to
resist the machinery of war and the fascist direction that has emerged.
Come to Denver for a week of protest that includes marching to stand with
immigrants under assault and counter-protests to the week of anti-abortion
actions of the Christian right. Join in contingents, film showings, street
protests, strategy sessions, and more.
