Dear Friend,
Singer songwriter, Jackson Browne, will sing at Occupy Washington, DC at Freedom Plaza (13th and Pennsylvania Ave., NW) on Monday, December 5 at 1:00 PM. Browne has been inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriter's Hall of Fame.
Browne said "I'm singing at Freedom Plaza to express my solidarity with the Occupy Movement and to thank them for standing up for the ideals and principals I believe in." Browne has been politically active on environmental issues, human rights, peace, justice and health research. Browne sang at
Occupy Wall Street last week and recently donated three bicycle generators to OccupyWashingtonDC.
If you can’t be there in person, you can
watch the Ustream.
On Tuesday, Dec. 6, join us at 4 pm for the lighting of our 100% post-consumer recycled plastic Peace Tree. This will happen at the same time as the tree lighting on the Capitol. We are urging people to focus on family, friends and community this holiday season instead of buying presents. If you do buy gifts, please buy goods that are made and sold locally.
In peace and solidarity,
OccupyWashingtonDC/October2011
