The War Stops Here

We have a little less than five months to go until this historic event.  Now is the time to get active if you are not already.  Some important dates and information for the month of April.

1.  We have received a good deal of comments from out-of-town supporters on how they can help.  Here are a couple of areas and ideas to plug in to:

Host an R-68 event.  For a small donation for travel, R-68 is capable of sending a speaker and if you prefer, trainers to provide medic training, legal training, and civil disobedience trainings.

Financial Support is always needed.  You can send donations to –  Recreate 68, PO Box 6444, Denver, CO 80206

Host a coordinating party in your community and make plans for your groups actions and transportation to the DNC.  Events and themes are listed on our website to assist you.  www.recreate68.org

Print up flyers from our website or DIY and distribute throughout your community.

If you have a connection with a band that is political in nature or supports the movement, please put them in touch with us.

2.  We have received a large amount of comments as to how our meetings are run and when.  The dates for meetings are in this e-mail and on our site.  Due to the large amount of request for information, it is difficult to respond to every request.  Most information requested is on the website, so please take the time and read the provided information.  www.recreate68.org

Today, April 1 – Community Forum – On The 40th Anniversary of the Assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. R-68 presents the first in a series of community forums and panel discussions.  Tonight’s topic: The State of the Black Nation and the Barack Obama campaign.  More information on this event can be found at the link – http://recreate68.org/album1_dnc_037.htm

April 10 – DNC Community Forum sponsored by Councilman Rick Garcia – 6 – 7:30 pm at the Auditorium of North High School – 2960 N.

Don’t allow a private organization to remove the free space for dissent from the people.

April 15 – Legal Training – University of Denver, 6:15 – 8:15 pm, room to be announced – The Midnight Special Legal Collective will be visiting from California and will be doing a free legal training that will include a “Know Your Rights” section for community members.  Get educated on your rights and how you can help the legal team.

April 16 – R-68 Debate – University of Denver, time and room to be announced. Glenn Spagnuolo, R-68 Organizing Committee Member will be debating Denver’s far right Councilman Charlie Brown.  Should be a high-spirited and entertaining event.
