Mole's Progressive Democrat

The Progressive Democrat Newsletter grew out of the frustration of the 2004 election. Originally intended for New York City progressives, its readership is now national. For anyone who wants to be alerted by email whenever this newsletter is updated (usually weekly), please send your email address and let me know what state you live in (so I can keep track of my readership).

    NYC MARCH ON WALLSTREET: April 4th

    April 4 March on Wall Street

    Momentum Buidling for April 4 March on Wall Street

    National Mobilization
    New York City

    On April 4th, massive numbers of people will be in the street in a unified and nonviolent call to cut military spending and to fund human needs and ecological sustainability.

    “A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. April 4, 1967

    On the April 4th anniversary of Dr. King’s prophetic “Beyond Vietnam” speech delivered at Riverside Church, people will gather in New York City to protest war and rally for justice, equality and peace around the world. Groups for racial justice and economic equality, against war and occupation, for a new economy based on people’s needs, green union jobs and sustainability will all come together for a massive march on Wall Street.

    Read what David Swanson, one of our most important progressive voices, has to say about this major mass action to take place in NYC on April 4:
