NUMBER THE DEAD VIGIL & DEMONSTRATION NYC 9.17.06
On Sunday September 17th there will be 2700 concerned persons lining
the east sidewalk of 5th Avenue from 8th Street to 98th Street in NYC.
The number corresponds to the number of US soldiers that have died in
Iraq.
Each person will hold a poster board with the name, age and hometown
of every fallen US soldier. In addition, each block will have a poster
marking the number of Iraqis who have been killed. Each block will
represent 1000 Iraqis. From 10-11a.m. we will stand together in a
silent vigil and demonstration, called NUMBER THE DEAD. For more
information, please visit our website: www.numberthedead.com
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE
If you want to be part of the line on September 17th, you MUST send us
an e-mail at:
numberthedead
You must sign up to line up! We need a count to make sure that we
have enough volunteers to represent the 2700 soldiers. In your email,
please provide a contact number. Once you have signed up, you will
receive more details about the event.
Please support the cause of remembering and honoring the US soldiers
and Iraqis whom we have lost in this war. This project will only be
successful if we have every soldier represented. It's time we take a
stand and illustrate what the number 2600+ looks like alive.
Hope to see you on the line.
