THANKSGIVING DAY '99
[AmnestyInternational] NATIONAL DAY OF MOURNING
The Journey for Justice will join AIM to honor
the National Day of Mourning
A FAST AT THE CAPITOL AND A FEAST AT THE PRISON!
While the capitol is usually a place of fine dining for our
representatives, on Thanksgiving it will be a place for fasting.
Thanksgiving dinner is usually stark and lonely at the prison, but this year
there will be feasting on the lawn.
While FLORIDA AIM holds their annual FAST at the capitol, the JOURNEY FOR
JUSTICE AT STARKE will share their FEAST for human dignity.
On Thanksgiving, November 25th, 1999, Florida AIM will hold their annual
National Day of Mourning. The Journey for Justice in Florida will gather at
Florida's Starke prison complex to hold vigil for human dignity. To
compliment AIM's FAST AT THE CAPITOL, The JOURNEY FOR JUSTICE offers to
share our FEAST AT THE PRISON. We will prepare Thanksgiving dinner for the
public on the lawn as we stand together to rejoice in each other, even
within the walls. It's all about peace and every man's right to be.
We mourn for the loss of vision of our leaders and the sense of despair felt
by prisoners who are being warehoused instead of rehabilitated. We pray for
the enlightenment of the prisoners, the guards, our society and the policy
makers, even as we give thanks for our right to express our frustration and
desire for peace.
If there is any possible way you can offer up even part of your holiday to
stand with either Aim at their fast or Starke at our feast, you will be
welcomed as part of the solution. You will be blessed for ministering to
those who don't have as much to be Thankful for.

Greetings:
On November 25, 1999 the dominant society will take turns picking at their
turkeys. Members and supporters of Florida AIM will be conducting a sunsrise
to sunset fast on the steps of the state capitol as we have since 1990.
Many are unaware that Thanksgiving originated with the Gov of Massachussets
giving thanks that they were able to massacre nearly 1,000 Pequot and
Wampanoag peoples in 1637. While President Abraham Lincoln, who ordered the
mass hanging of 38 Dakota patriots, offically declared thanksgiving in this
country at the end of the civil war, it appears the Gov of Mass.'s idea and
tradition continues.
The murders of Lakotas in Mobridge, Sisseton, Rapid City and White Clay
remains unsolved. The Micmaq, and Passamaquoddy people face the threat of
losing their lives for simply fishing and hunting. Oneida and Seminole
Nations have come under attack for excersing their sovereign rights. The
lands of the Western Shoshone and Dine remain under threat. Nuclear waste
and toxic waste remain to be dumped on Indian land.... Indian people can't
even rest in peace and the judge's dismissal of the Robert Many Horses case
shows killing an Indian remains less of a crime than killing a Moose out of
season.
In 1970 AIM held the first National Day of Mourning. Florida AIM has held
one since 1986 and since 1990 at the steps of the state capitol. We will do
so to honor the ones who have gone before, we will so to honor the ones here
now and the ones yet to come. We ask all who can to join us in our sunrise
to sunset fast at the steps of the State Capitol in a Day of Mourning.
Thank You
