Things are coming together: excitement reigns

Last night I attended a planning meeting of various groups who will be exercising their Constitutional rights at the Yorktown Battlefield on the 25th. The Center for Education Rights, sponsor of the Rally for Social Justice, is one of three groups who have been granted permits by the National Park Service to hold gatherings at the Park on that Saturday. From last night's planning meeting, it is clear that the Rally for Social Justice will be the place to be Saturday afternoon. Our music, our program, our infrastructure, and our core values (diversity, tolerance, non-violence, and social justice) make the Rally for Social Justice perhaps the only family-friendly, non-confrontational, peaceful plot of grass at the Park.

For those of you who are wondering, the Rally for Social Justice is at the north end of the Park, between the Vistors' Center and the Coast Guard's Training Center. The other two permit holders, the National Socialist Movement and the counter-protest led by Zion's Sake Congregation, will be at the southern end of the Park, well removed from the Rally for Social Justice.

Come on out and enjoy the music, poetry, and insightful words at the Rally for Social Justice. Bring a blanket or lawn chairs & a cooler with food & drink... we'll see you next weekend!
