Sunday, September 25

The White House action will be preceded on Sunday with a series of opportunities under the banner of "Building a Community of Resistance" to meet and learn from one another and build the sense of community, solidarity, vision, discipline and organization among those who plan to act together on Monday. These gatherings will take place in tents UFPJ will have set up or in other locations to be determined. (The location will be finalized shortly, but will likely be in the Clergy and Laity Concerned about Iraq tent.)
