Dear Portland,
This is Martha Perez, reporting to you live from Washington, DC, where I'm posting coverage of events on my Facebook page, so if you want more information or details, please visit Facebook.com. There is a lot that has happened, and shall continue to post, so I apologize for any gaps-in-coverage. However, I have been joined by several teams of local/out-of-state activists, who are also reporting on the information, as it is received. There's more to come, in just a moment. Now, a couple of things that we already know about:
***Dave Cooper's Appalachia Mountaintop Removal rally action at Freedom Plaza & Lobby Day;
***Meetings at Capitol Hill (in-progress) of which is discussed in additional detail on Facebook;
***Emergency FBI Raid Condemnation Protest in Washington, DC, in front of the Edgar J. Hoover building in downtown DC;
***Upcoming actions in the next few days, including a protest by the NOW - National Organization of Women on Capitol Hill (Wednesday 9/29/10 at 8:45am EST.) as well as this Saturday October 2nd (Noon, EST.) at Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
NOTE: I have also been told & it is confirmed that there will be at least three (3) major feeder marches, that are expected to converge with the main stem; in addition, there has also occurred a national response in many cities, with communities mobilizing, respectively, for Oct. 2nd, and beyond. In addition, there are an un-estimated number of smaller events & actions, that have been occurring, so I have tried to compile as much of it as possible. While Congress is in a gridlock right now, it is thinking about closing as early as today or tomorrow, possibly. This is a concern, of course, and you can visit senate.gov, or call your local office, to get the latest details on what they end up deciding to do (or not do).
In addition, I will be interviewed on television, courtesy of and brought to you by Mr. Don Baham, who is the Producer of "Friendly Conversations With Dr. Don" this Thursday, October 14th at 6:30pm (check tv schedule for cable access dates/times). Stay tuned.
Reporting from Capitol Hill, I'm Martha Perez, General Political Activist.
