We’ve rallied and marched locally and nationally. Yet after 5 years,the war is still on. A coalition of Twin Cities activists believe it’s time toraise the level of protest in response to an unjust war, military recruiterswho prey on our young people, and politicians who aren’t doing enough to stopit.Civil Disobedience Training and Organizing MeetingSaturday March 22 at 3:30 p.m. at Mayday Books. 301 Cedar Ave. S, Minneapolis.(Located below Midwest Mountaineering and The Hub Bike Co-op, near the WestBank side of the University of MN campus)Women suffragists, trade unionists, civil rights and peace activists have allused civil disobedience thoughout our nation’s history to win many of therights and freedoms we enjoy today.

Subversive parking tip: Park in the lot next to the mountaineering store. Go to the mountaineering store and by a carabiner. Get your parking ticket stamped. The carabiner will cost you less than the parking, and you get a carabiner.Don’t tell anyone where you heard this, and if you say it was from me, I’ll, like, totally deny it.
Have you read the breakthrough novel of the year? When you are done with that, try:
or Paperback

I am not sure I understand why you are making the mountaineering store pay for your parking to attend a meeting on Civil Disobedient training? It is a mountaineering store not an Army surplus store. Sorry I don’t get it.
Jim: You radicals are so serious … The part about the carabiner is a joke!Plus, if you are a real radical, you will arrive on a bike, not in a car, no matter what the weather. Minneapolis has more bikes per capita than any city in the US, and most of the bike riders are radicals and/or anarchists.
My wife says the same thing; I’m too serious. Thanks for the information.Jim
