| Protest militarization of terminal
Queens College SDS, MDS, Port Militarization Resistance Project Coordinated protests in Manhattan and Staten Island. The issue is the use of Howland Hook, Staten Island as a “Seaport of Embarkation” (SPOE) by the U.S. Army. Howland Hook, aka the New York Container Terminal (NYCT), has recently been used to facilitate the transfer of military materiel and personnel to war-torn Iraq. Organizers are demanding an end of this “misuse” of the Port of New York. Friday’s actions will begin with a protest outside the Port Authority in Manhattan by Queens College SDS; will continue with fliering on both Staten Island Ferry Terminals - Whitehall/South Ferry (NYC) and St. George (SI), and; will conclude with a vigil on the steps of Staten Island’s Borough Hall. The SDS students will assemble at Theatre Row Diner, 424 West 42nd St between 9th and 10th Avenue at 8 am. They will conduct an informational picket, distributing fliers, outside the Manhattan Port Authority from 9 am to 10:30 am. The terminal is located one block west of Times Square, occupying the blocks between Eighth and Ninth Avenues, from 40th to 42nd Streets. The MDS activists will flier at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal, in St. George, from 3 to 7pm. They will gather in front of Water Edge Cafe inside the Ferry Terminal. Other MDSers will meet up at the Staten Island Ferry Terminal in lower Manhattan (Whitehall/South Ferry). Assembling at the Information Desk inside the SI Ferry Terminal, the protesters will flier from 3 to 7 pm as well. To conclude the observance of the Moratorium, protesters will hold a candlelight vigil on the steps of Staten Island’s Borough Hall, directly across Richmond Terrace from the Ferry Terminal, from 7 to 8 pm.

| Vigil to Protest the Iraq War
Rock River Peace Group 1/19 Sat 3 - 4 pm Vigil to Protest the Iraq War and plans to attack Iran – Fort Atkinson. At the Municipal Building, 101 N Main Street, Sponsored by Rock River Peace Group."One of the reasons we vigil is to protest the myth that the surge has worked," said Chuck Ogg. "In fact, the opposite is true. It has not created stability and security in Iraq, the Bush administration's stated goals. There is clear evidence that the recent drop in violence was due to other factors. We believe a political solution cannot not be forged until our troops leave. We are also concerned that Bush is attempting to provoke Iran, hoping to start yet another war--a debacle that could be even more violent and costly. That's why now more than ever we need to stand up and be heard to pressure Congress. We must bring our brave soldiers home now rather than lose yet more lives." The vigil is part of the nation-wide Iraq Moratorium. [More info,_Contact,_Updates,_Comments_and_Reports] 01/19/2008 3 to 4 p.m., Municipal Building, 101 N. Main St. Event #617 | ||||||
