You've read the site.  You know about the crimes.  You smell the scent of fascism in the air...

There is a moment that must, and can, be seized ( NOW. 

There are people who want to act ( NOW.

Reach them.  Change your routine, for a week, and reach them. 

Change the direction of history.  Before it's too late.

If you are a lawyer, write an e-mail to every lawyer in your city ( TODAY.  Tell them how that the FISA scandal, the Alito nomination, the torture revelations ( all this demands that we meet and act.  Send them the Call.  Give them a place to go that can hold hundreds.  Bring materials.  Debate, discuss and let them roll...

If you are a teacher, e-mail every teacher you know.  Get your union lists and send it out to thousands.  Call a citywide emergency meeting.  Get the word out on teach-ins on the 31st.  Tell them to spread the word in their schools ( to their students, to other teachers)  

If you're a student, get the flyer out to your whole school, call a meeting and make plans to spread this to your school and every other school)

If you're a clergyperson, read the quote from Martin Niemoller again and then figure out how to use your pulpit to deal with the crossroads we stand at)  

If you're a writer, write.  If you are a public speaker ( if you have access at all to the media ( speak. 

If you 'know someone who knows someone' talk to them)

And so on down the line)

If you are not in a local chapter, join one.  If they don't answer, if they are too overloaded, download materials from this site, get them out, and keep calling until you get through.  Don't wait.

Once you do get through, help them by phone-banking, by selling bus tickets, by delivering materials, by raising money, by coordinating transportation, by helping to plan the rally.  Mass sentiment is not enough ( there must be organization!  Help these folks rise to the challenge. 

What you don't know, learn.

What you can't learn, make up along the way.  That's how history gets made, from the bottom up. 

If there is no chapter, start one. 

Make sure there is somewhere to come to every night, a place to meet or just for people to pick up new flyers and report in, and make sure people know about it ( run announcements and ads on the radio, get this on to Craig's List, Myspace, and everywhere else you can think of.  People are ready to hear this ( get it to them. 

Put the call up everywhere you go ( your cleaner, the coffee-shop you go to in the morning, the laundromat, the supermarket, the deli, your church or mosque or synagogue, that restaurant you eat at all the time, the bar you drink at. . . drop off copies of it . . . talk to people. . .

It IS really true: THE WORLD CAN'T WAIT!
