WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW THROUGH OCT 5
TO "BRING THIS TO A HALT!"

In 11 days, people in Cleveland will be joining with tens and tens of thousands around the country to "Bring This to a Halt." Many people have newly joined this movement, and are taking part in building for this day of mass resistance against the Bush regime.

Fliers are being distributed by the thousands, hand to hand, stacks left at coffee houses and barber shops, in high schools and galleries, at concerts and on buses; close to 4,000 stickers have already gotten up and out in just a few days. People have heard psa's played on college radio, and our ads have been seen in USA Today and the Free Times. Thousands of dollars have been raised locally to contribute to all this. People are posting Oct 5 announcements on their blogs and websites, and sending announcements to their listserves. Momentum is building towards Oct 5!

We need to keep it up, and expand it geometrically...and you can be part of doing that. Download the fliers and stickers on the website; organize a walkout at your school, post on myspace and your blogs, play the psa's, join a phonebanking team.

We also need to start preparing for THE DAY itself. Many people have come forward to add their voice to the rally (see updated list below). We have all the proper permits from the city. Some of us are already working coordinating and working with the speakers and perfomers; security; insurance; equipment rentals; MC'ing, donations, and more.

If you can let us use your sound equipment, generator, or stage for Oct 5, please contact us immidiately!

There are many crucial tasks that still need to be done to make Oct 5 a success. We need volunteers to take up tasks for the rally and march. Please look over the list below, recruit your friends and associates to help out, and let us know what you can do.

VOLUNTEER, ASAP, SO WE KNOW WHAT WE HAVE. EVEN IF YOU'RE NOT SURE, VOLUNTEER FOR SOMETHING AND WE'LL FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER.
Contact us at cleveland@worldcantwait.org

There will be a volunteer coordinator to work with and assist all who volunteer and making sure they know what they'll be doing on Oct 5. ALL VOLUNTEERS are asked to meet
next Sunday Sept 30 at 1 pm at C-Space (W. 44th & Clark Ave.)

If you don't feel you can volunteer at this time, there is a very important way that you can contribute to October 5: we still need to raise thousands of dollars locally to pay for the cost of local advertising, printing materials (fliers, posters, stickers), rental of equipment for the rally (stage, sound, insurance, etc). We need a minimum of $3,000.
Please send checks to: World Can't Wait PO Box 609034 Cleveland OH 44109
