I'm attaching some info about the upcoming big anti-war rally in SF this weekend. Someone organized an alternative fuel vehicle 'rally' and convoy for the event to draw attention to the oil/war connection- I think it's two or three hours of the alt-fuel gathering, and then we join the main march. Below is the rather bland sounding announcement for the alt-fuel rally, but it's coming together and looking pretty exciting as an event in it's own right and as a statement. SO far there are over 60 alt-fuel, electric, biodiesel, and hybrid vehicles registered (you have to RSVP to get a spot at the initial rally part of it). There's a lot of biodiesel/straight vegetable oil people coming- members of our biodiesel co-op are making a presence (with 'ain't NO BLOOD FOR vegetable OIL, the 'ain't and the 'vegetable' added in as a correction- as one of our banners), and I am getting an 12Volt, on-board biodiesel processor together so that we can make a batch at the event, along with handing out info...

Environmentalists Against the War Jan. 18, Grace Cathedral, San Francisco Environmental Anti-War Kick-off: 11:00 a.m. - Noon Let's Roll! March and Eco-Auto Convoy: Noon - 1:00 p.m. Please visit www.workingassets.com/nowar for more information and to volunteer. Dear Friend of Working Assets, Environmentalists of all stripes who oppose Bush's plans for a preemptive invasion of Iraq are encouraged to bring their bicycles, hybrids, electric cars, friends, children, parents and neighbors to a rollicking, rolling gathering for opposing the war. It all starts at an anti-war kick-off rally with folks from local and national environmental organizations making the connection between oil dependency and Bush's dangerous rush to war. Sponsors include Working Assets, Sierra Club, Physicians for Social Responsibility, Ruckus Society, Global Exchange, Bluewater Network, Walk SF, SF Bicycle Coalition, Greenpeace, Project Underground, Rainforest Action Network, and Earth Island Institute. Join us on the steps of Grace Cathedral at 11:00 a.m. on Jan. 18 for a pre-march gathering featuring signs, banners, letter writing tables, t-shirt giveaways, music, alternative vehicle fair, a game of pin the gas can on the SUV, and even a blessing of the hybrids and electric vehicles. (To reserve your sign now, visit www.workingassets.com/nowar) At noon, environmentalists marching on foot, riding bikes and driving eco vehicles will form the first-ever, anti-war green machine convoy. This rolling environmental celebration will then proceed to the anti-war rally which begins in San Francisco Civic Center at 1:00 p.m. As you may know, at 1:00 p.m. on Saturday Jan. 18, a massive anti-war demonstration will be held at San Francisco Civic Center. This may be your last chance to participate in a large scale protest before the Bush administration launches a preemptive strike against Iraq. Please join us and other like-minded environmentalists for the Jan. 18 kickoff at 11:00 a.m. at San Francisco's Grace Cathedral. Then march and ride with the eco-anti-war convoy to Civic Center, and stand up against the war. Find more details, including an opportunity to volunteer at the event and reserve an environmental, anti-war sign at www.workingassets.com/nowar Sincerely, Michael Kieschnick President [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Biofuel at Journey to Forever: http://journeytoforever.org/biofuel.html Biofuels list archives: http://archive.nnytech.net/ Please do NOT send Unsubscribe messages to the list address.
