I think I will take a charter bus to Crawford Saturday, to support Cindy Sheehan and participate in the anti-war rally near the Bush compound. The bus leaves from the LBJ library parking, which is a convenient walk from my place. I'd encourage any Austin readers to join me, and contact me so we can coordinate.
If you don't think you can go up to Crawford this weekend, I'll point out a few upcoming events in Austin. On Sunday, September 11, Austin Against War is sponsoring a peace march from Gillis Park at South First and Oltorf to the new City Hall. This seems like a great way to counter the message of that day's "Freedom Walk" in DC, which is organized by the Department of Defense. (BTW, check out this great post discussing the way Americans use "Freedom.") Additionally there will be rally October 1 to promote the demilitarization of schools and get military recruiters off campus.
