SOWING THE
SEEDS OF HOPE: FROM CONGRESS TO THE WHITE HOUSE
The National Campaign for
Nonviolent resistance is inviting you to Join
Sowing the Seeds of Hope on Tuesday,
September 22, 2015. This action is part of a week of actions sponsored by Campaign Nonviolence.
CONGRESS
Meet in the
cafeteria in the Longworth House Office Building, Washington, D.C. 20515 at
9 AM. This will be a planning meeting to
prepare for the two planned actions.
Together we will go to
Paul Ryan's office, 1233 Longworth
HOB at about 10
AM. A letter was sent to the representative seeking a meeting so
that we can urge him to listen to Pope Francis, who has condemned
militarism, income inequality and climate chaos. Bring packets of seeds and photos or news articles of
issues you would like to address i.e. war, climate crisis, poverty,
institutionalized violence etc.
Leave Ryan's office
around 11 or 11:15 AM to take
public transportation to Edward R. Murrow Park, 1800 block of Pennsylvania Ave. NW. At
noon, participate in the RALLY AT THE PARK.
WHITE HOUSE
We will proceed
together from the park to the White House around 12:45
PM to deliver a letter to President Obama. Again we will urge the
president to honor the pope’s call to end warmongering, the destruction
of the planet and the profiteering by the rich to the detriment of the
poor. .
We'll hear speakers at
the White House, the letter to
Obama will be read, and some will demand
a meeting with an administration official
even at risk of arrest. .
Let me know if you can join us for
all or a portion of the Sowing Seeds of Hope action on September
22. Contact Max at 410-366-1637 or mobuszewski at Verizon dot
net.
