Mobilizing for 10/10: Boston Events

***Please forward***

Help Jericho Boston Mobilize for 10/10

On October 10, 2008 there will be a national mobilization in
New York City calling for amnesty and freedom for all US-held political
prisoners and prisoners of war. 10/10 will mark the 10th anniversary of
the Jericho '98 march in Washington, DC. Like Jericho ’98, the aim of
10/10 is not just to get people out to the march, but to gather folks
together to build a lasting relationship and strategize on how to get our
political prisoners and prisoners of war free, and to continue their and
our struggle for justice and freedom.


Jericho Boston will be holding a series of local events leading up to
10/10 to help build a strong contingent from our area. Please plan to
attend, get involved, and get out the word to others.
