08.28............CODEPINK Women Against War Event
CODEPINK, Women for Peace, Global Fund for Women, and the Global Justice and Peace Ministry of The Riverside Church have invited Axis of Eve to an evening of music and spoken word to celebrate women's passion, creativity and strength in saying no to war and yes to peace and justice. Featuring Playwright/Performer Eve Ensler; Democracy Now! Host Amy Goodman, Hip-Hop Performance Poet Aya De Leon; Former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney; Singer-Songwriter Noe Venable; and the young women of We Got Issues! As thousands of Republican National Convention delegates begin to arrive in New York City, let's send a message to the RNC - and to the world - that the women of the United States are determined to work for a world based on non-violence and respect for all human life - not the war, militarism and aggression that have underpinned U.S. foreign policy since Sept. 11, 2001! Riverside Church, 490 Riverside Drive, 7-10 PM, http://www.codepinkalert.org

08.29............United for Peace and Justice March
Walk with the Axis of Eve at the historical United for Peace and Justice March! We'll be wearing our tank tops and protest panties (some over bare legs, some over tights, some pinned over clothing), and carrying giant panty signs made of colorful cardboard and our infamous "dirty laundary line" banners. We are sure to make a pantastic spectacle! DETAILS: The march starts at 10 AM at 14th street and 7th Avenue; Eves will convene between 9:30 AM and 9:55 AM at the corner of 15th street and 7th Avenue.
