| Everybody UP AND OUT Sunday January 8, 2006 - Philadelphia |
[05 Jan 2006|11:19am] |
From ACT UP Philadelphia
JOIN AIDS ACTIVISTS IN PROTEST AGAINST
THE RADICAL RIGHT
Philadelphia SUNDAY JANUARY 8 * AT "JUSTICE
SUNDAY III" (sic)
Jerry Falwell. Tony Perkins from the Family
Research Council. James Dobson
from Focus on the Family. Rick Santorum. All
coming to Philadelphia on Jan 8
to rally on "Justice Sunday" to pack the Supreme
Court. This event will be
telecast live across the country.
Happy New Year, everybody.
"Justice" is the right to health care and effective
HIV prevention,
reproductive freedom, and freedom from
homophobia and bigotry
--not fundamentalist extremism from the extreme
right wing.
Join ACT UP Philadelphia, people of faith, people
of conscience, women's
health groups and other friends in Philadelphia at
7 PM on Sunday January 8
2006 to protest "Justice Sunday III"--a national
rally for religious
extremist groups who are fighting for a judiciary
that is as reactionary
as they are.
"Justice Sunday III" comes just one day before
the Senate Judiciary
Committee opens hearings for Supreme Court
Justice Nominee Samuel Alito.
"Justice Sunday III" will include notorious fixtures
of the radical right
Tony Perkins of the Family Research Council, Dr.
James Dobson of Focus on
the Family, and Jerry Falwell along with
Pennsylvania Senator Rick Santorum.
These right wing religious groups exert
extraordinarily powerful influence
over White House policies on HIV prevention,
global AIDS, science, sex
education and public health.
Join us outside the Greater Exodus Baptist
Church, at 714 North Broad Street
at 6:30 for a spirited rally and protest.
For more information please call ACT UP
Philadelphia at (215) 386-1981 or
Jose DeMarco at (215) 756-4756.

| Car share to Center City, (Art Musuem Area) |
[02 Nov 2005|12:03pm] |
Hey. I don't know if anyone is passing through the art musuem area, or would be willing to swing over the spring garden bridge if in West Philly en route to your job in Center City. I work 9-5 generally and can pitch in for gas. Also if applicable I have a roommate who may be interested as well, working the same schedule. I'm pleasant and fold nicely into passenger or back seats.
