COUNTER-INAUGURAL TRAININGS

The Mobilization for Global Justice is organizing a series of trainings in
preparation for the Counter-Inaugural Protest on January 20, 2005 in
Washington DC.  Come join us in learning valuable skills and connecting
with fellow activists.  Whether you are a new comer or a seasoned activist;
trainings are great for improving or creating your "activist tool box."
