On Saturday, September 15th there will be a large gathering in St. Paul to protest the war, money for war, and to urge the building of bridges not bombs.
We will gather near the Cathedral of St. Paul, 239 Selby Avenue, St. Paul at 1 PM and then march to the Capitol at 1:30. There will be speakers at both points. This march will coincide with the march in Washington, D.C. on the same day.
Warren Blechert with Lake Country Progressives is organizing a charter bus for those who are interested. There will be two pick-up points:
Noon At the parking lot at 7 and 101, near Target Greatland in Minnetonka
12:20 or after At the Louisiana and 394 Park and Ride in Golden Valley
The bus driver will drop us off at the Cathedral and then, when we are ready to come home, we will ask him to pick us up at the Capitol. The bus will hold 55 people (we now have 10 reservations) and if 50 people sign up the cost will be no more than $5 per person for the round trip.
If you want to reserve a spot on the bus, please e-mail Carole Rydberg at: [email protected] as soon as possible and I will relay this information to Warren. If it is necessary to tweak the times a bit, those who reserve spots will be notified.
It is up to each of us to make this march a great success.
