Pushback 53
Happy Hands Off! Day. I'll be heading out to our local protest around lunch time and with over 1000 protests planned, I hope you'll be stepping out and stepping up too! Whether this is your first protest or your 50th, remember that this is just one in a series of protests that will gain strength and power to the people. As the days get longer, we'll have more opportunities to turn up the heat. In the meantime, there's a lot of good advice - and even MAGIC! - in this newsletter to prepare you for a protest.
Don't forget to email news about protests in your area/state to pushback.rebuild @ gmail. com (but remove the spaces). I'll try to send out an omnibus round-up tomorrow.
