Take The Pledge
"I pledge that if any U.S. troops, contractors, or mercenaries
remain in Afghanistan on Thursday, October 6, 2011, as that occupation
goes into its 11th year, I will commit to being in Freedom Plaza in
Washington, D.C.,
with others on that day or the days immediately following, for as
long as I can, with the intention of making it our Tahrir Square,
Cairo, our Madison, Wisconsin, where we will NONVIOLENTLY resist the
corporate
machine by occupying Freedom Plaza until our resources are invested
in human needs and environmental protection instead of war and
exploitation. We can do this together. We will be the beginning." http://october2011.org/welcome
