**please spread the word!**

Get ready for the Republican National Convention!  Trainings in protest
health and safety, know your rights, direct action and affinity groups.

A sweeping call for direct action and civil disobedience has been made for
the Republican National Convention happening in New York City at the end of
August.   This is a critical moment to stand up and say no to Bush, not to
the US Empire!  It is important to be as prepared as possible for whatever
