Subject: The military parade was cancelled, but the work to end militarism continues

Thank you for signing onto the "No Trump Military Parade" effort. The parade was cancelled (yay!), but our work goes on. We have continued to meet and are putting plans together for the weekend of Nov. 9 to 11 in Washington, DC.

Below you will find a tentative schedule.

We will be updating the No Trump Military Parade website this weekend. 

Please let me know if you:
1. Want to have your logo removed (we hope you'll stay).
2. Want to join the organizing calls for the Saturday "Peace Congress: End the U.S. Wars at Home and Abroad." They are Monday nights at 6:00 pm Eastern.

*Please note that we are still working to fill in some of the information in the schedule.

Friday to Sunday, November 9 to 11, 2018

Catharsis on the Mall; A Vigil for Healing
Catharsis on the Mall will take place on the National Mall near the Washington Monument (15th St. and Constitution Ave., NW) all weekend long. It will have art installations, live music and booths. CODEPINK will have a space for art making.

Veterans Occupy Washington
Veterans will be holding a space at McPherson Square, 15th St. and I St., NW, from Friday night to Sunday night. They will have a stage and sound system for music and open mic throughout the weekend. They will also hold a BBQ for homeless veterans outside the Veteran’s Administration Building at Vermont Ave. and H St., NW on Sunday night. Stop by whenever you can and stay as long as you like.
