NYC Nuclear Disarmament March And Demo

AbolitionNow! writes

On Sunday, May 1, 2005, United for Peace and Justice and Abolition Now! are calling for a massive demonstration for global nuclear disarmament and peace. The demonstration will take place on the day before world leaders and citizens from many countries converge at the UN for a month-long review of the endangered Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. While ignoring their treaty obligations, the nuclear weapon states, led by the US, are hypocritically accusing other nations of seeking nuclear arms.

We will assemble on 1st Ave. from 50th St. north between 11 AM and 12 noon. The march kicks off at 12 noon. The rally will begin at 2 PM at the Heckscher Ballfields in Central Park and conclude by 6 PM.

We urge you to join us and help build the May 1st mobilization for a nuclear weapon free world:
