Hawthorne, Morrison Bridges, Waterfront & Esplanade
Sponsors: Living Earth and two dozen peace and faith organizations (503) 788-7311
Our message is simple and unequivocal:

Line the railings of the Morrison and Hawthorne Bridges, and the Waterfront and Esplanade that link them. This is a simple, quiet candlelight vigil, no leaders, no speeches, no mass marches or chants, just an opportunity to stand together in affirmation of our commitment to peace with each other, with other communities and nations, and with this living planet.
Be there, spread the word, bring friends and candles, get your group or place of business to endorse or co-sponsor. Help make a strong statement to politicians looking at November elections that we are committed to creating a world at peace, a world that is just, fair, vibrant and sustainable.

"A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight."
-Henry David Thoreau: Civil Disobedience (1846)

"Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true."

--Martin Luther King, Jr., Strength To Love, 1963

Monday, September 25, 4:30pm - 6:30pm
West end of Sellwood Bridge
Sponsor: Democracy for America
True Brew Democracy for America Monday flash mobs are an opportunity for psyops FOR progressives and AGAINST neocons. You can brighten the day of Bush badgered bourgeoisie and blue collar workers! See the smiles, waves and honks from the many kindred spirits who see you holding a sign calling for IMPEACHMENT! See them recognize the spirit of liberty from my Ben Franklin costume.
Watch the few purple faced neocons as their blood pressure boils to dangerous levels from seeing someone with the audacity to call for impeachment of THEIR president!
Our efforts keep the spirit of democracy alive. The impeachment movement is gaining momentum. Any time you can spare between 4:30 and 6:30 PM Monday will help. Your effort could make the critical difference in the future of the world!
