Contingents: If you would like to choose a block for your contingent, you many choose any block south of 41st Street. However, we cannot guarantee any space on 7th Ave; assembly will be on a first come basis. Depending on the size of your contingent, you may want to have your group meet at 1:00 p.m. on one of the side streets and then walk together to 7th Ave. You will need to congregate on the sidewalks of the side streets as the streets will not be closed to traffic. If you want your contingent meet up to be posted on the website, you can send an email to contingents@peaceandjusticenow.org.
I am sure people will voice-consensus.com for peaceful solutions. We should remember that we only need 5% of the population and we are getting to the status quo. It is in common sense people hands to make a difference. We see you all in New York City. My respect to the organizers. May Peace Prevail on Earth.
