Speakers for Protest Against Ahmadinejad at UN

There are many reasons to protest against Ahmadinejad. Above is a sign I created and encourage all to print out and bring. It has not received an endorsement from WIMV-NY, but it adheres to their non-divisive guidelines.

Following is a press release from http://whereismyvoteny.org/

*UPDATED RALLY INFORMATION *

For those who would like to be there when Ahmadinejad is scheduled to

arrive at the United Nations, you will need to gather as early as
8:00-8:30AM to meet his motorcade.

The WIMV-NY program and rally will begin at 10:00 AM, when the United

Nations session is convened and during Ahmadinejad’s scheduled
address.

*The program information is as follows:*


*WHEN: *Monday, May 03, 2010 at 10:00 AM* *

for a united event with a message that doesn’t appear factional."
