RISING TOGETHER
I’m a whistleblower for Justice, People and Planet!
From the Amazon rainforest burning… to endless wars, from Assange to Mumia & Peltier, from covid to climate chaos, from housing to policing, Palestine to the Philippines, Amazon workers organizing, Yemeni children starving, occupation & poverty, isms… while the 1% have a fling in outer space at the expense of the 99%.
We are connecting the dots.
We appreciate the activists who clarify the interconnection between struggles to end all wars, resist racism, protect human rights, and cope with the climate catastrophe.
– Kathy Kelly, author and peace activist
We’re building coalition: Black Lives Matter & Codepink, Extinction Rebellion & Veterans For Peace, WBAI 99.5 FM & Pacifica Radio & many, many more.
We are coming together to get to know each other and to make plans to support each other in a newly united struggle for justice, survival and well-being for ALL.
– Nick Mottern, BanKillerDrones.org
Please come with a contingent if you are a member of any antiwar, human rights, environmental or social justice organization. BRING your banners, your signs and flyers, literature and merchandise, tables and CHAIRS. We will have FREE “I’m a whistleblower for Justice, People and Planet!” whistles.
Sunday the 19th’s “Day of Engagement” will lead to a “Rising Together for a World BEYOND War! Global PACIFICA Broadcast” at a date to be announced.
We are organizing towards representative inclusion, financial and power equity, sustainable harmony and environmental stewardship.

We must recognize that we can’t solve our problem right now until there is a radical distribution of economic and political power… this means a revolution of values and other things. We must see now that the evils of racism, economic exploitation and militarism are all tied together… you can’t really get rid of one without getting rid of the others… the whole structure of American life must be changed. America is a hypocritical nation and we must put our own house in order.
