Hi John,

Fire Drill Friday Upcoming Rallies

What: Fire Drill Friday Rally

When: November 1st and 8th at 11am

Where: South East Lawn of the capitol building, near the intersection of 1st St. and Independence Ave SE

CODEPINK has joined Jane Fonda’s Fire Drill Fridays this fall! Since Jane Fonda launched her Fire Drill Friday rallies, CODEPINK has been there in support to say War is not Green! Every week focuses on a different issue exacerbated by climate change, and the next two weeks highlights issues very important to CODEPINK: women’s equality and the role of war and the military. This Friday November 1st, the rally will be centered on the impact of climate change on women, including incredible women speakers such as Eve Ensler, and Friday November 8th is the week dedicated to protesting the war machine, as the US military is the number one producer of carbon emissions. 

The rally will take place on the southeast lawn of the Capitol Building, across from the Library of Congress and near the intersection of 1st St & Independence Ave SE. The rally will go from 11am–12pm, followed by an optional civil disobedience action. If you plan to risk arrest with Jane Fonda, please join us at 9:30am Friday at the United Methodist Building on Capitol Hill, just across from the U.S. Capitol Building, 100 Maryland Ave NE. We will go over the specific rally and action plan for the day as well as a legal briefing, and share some coffee and breakfast. At 10:45am we will walk over to the Capitol for the rally to begin at 11am.
