Dear World Can't Wait Supporter,
The Declare It Now: Wear Orange campaign was launched on Friday. Here is what happened in a few places.
See moreLOS ANGELES : A noon press conference began when 3 orange-jump-suited, black-hooded figures knelt before the podium
while actor René Auberjonois (Boston Legal) delivered a stunning dramatic reading of the World Can't Wait Call. Prof. Dennis Loo of the WCW National Steering Committee contextualized the campaign and brought out the vision of transforming the situation where far too many people who hate what's going on are still not expressing or acting on that sentiment.
Constitutional lawyer Stephen Rohde made clear why it's not too late to push forward for impeachment and why it's urgently needed.
John Duran, Mayor of West Hollywood, who recently led the first city in southern California to pass a resolution for the impeachment of Bush & Cheney, spoke to why he's wearing orange.
Musician Wayne Kramer (formerly of the MC-5, co-founder of the White Panther Party) powerfully declared his feelings through his song, "Something's Broken in the Promised Land". Peter Thottam, Executive Director of the National Impeachment Center, announced the next steps of the Center while sporting the orange ribbon that he's been promoting.
San Francisco : World Can’t Wait caused a lot of smiles and laughter too, at Fisherman’s Wharf, as people caught sight of our (life-size but portable) jail cell with “Bush” (a guy in a suit and a mask) behind bars under a big “International War Criminal” sign. But many people had serious thoughts, anger, anguish, and hope right under the surface too. Conversations and debates broke out in many languages, and most of the time the crew staffing our tables were kept busy talking, signing people up, and getting “Declare It Now” materials into their hands. We ran across almost no international tourists who like the Bush regime. Travelers from other countries often were utterly delighted to hear the determined message of World Can’t Wait, and amazed to learn we’re spreading a nationwide movement. Over and over, people from Spain, Venezuela, the Ukraine, Japan, the Netherlands, Australia, China, Canada, told us how important it is to make it known around the world that there are people here trying to take responsibility for driving out the Bush regime.
Kalamazoo , MI : Five of us wearing orange mobilized downtown in front of the city festival site where almost everyone passing by was going to the Black Arts Festival. Almost ALL of the Black people stopped to take our orange flyer and take a ribbon with Impeach Bush on it, or an armband or a bandana (stamped with Drive out the Bush Regime)! They were very interested and in solidarity with our cause. Many stopped to speak about how much they hate the Bush regime and how they hope they can be impeached. They were not cynical and they did not ask many questions such as how will we do this? People had immediate unity with our goals and really loved wearing the orange stuff.
Chicago : People pledged to get family, friends, and coworkers etc. to wear orange. There was a strong sense among the crowd that “Declare it Now-Wear Orange” must spread as well as the sense that it was each person’s responsibility to get others to visibly oppose the Bush Regime and demand impeachment by wearing orange. Many people took ribbons and bandanas with them. One gentleman had already taken this up screen printing messages like “He Lied, He Spyed, Impeach Him” and ‘Regime Change U.S.A The World Can’t Wait” on orange swatches of cotton fabric which he gave out to picnic goers.
Charlotte NC : A group of people kicked off Declare It Now Orange Fridays: Drive Out The Bush Regime! in Charlotte, NC at the busy intersection of 7th St & Pecan Ave. Support from passersby was overwhelming. It was incredible, so many people smiling, waving, giving us a thumbs up, and car horns filled the air in response to the bright orange “Honk For Impeachment” signs. Several people walking by said beep, beep to us show us support. One man driving by was so happy to see us out there that after laying on his horn while passing by, he came back and brought us drinks & ice. A lot of times, our street rallies only last about an hour, but due to the excitement from all the public support, two and half hours quickly passed by before we decided to wrap it up.
Bend, OR : The Country is Ready to Impeach! A beautiful balmy Thursday afternoon at our free concert in the park, "Munch'n Music" the big band "High Street" plays "The Twist" while maybe two hundred people front stage all happily twist in unison. Just beyond that I stand in front of perhaps another 500 to 800 people that are sitting in the grass with a steady slow moving mass beyond them of folks enjoying the art stalls and food kiosks on this exceptional Summer day. With my "Impeach Now" t-shirt I stand like a vendor clutching a bouquet of orange bandanas and a baggie of orange ribbons.
What do the orange ribbons mean? A woman asks. “It's the national color that indicates you are for impeaching Bush and Cheney”. Do you want to wear one? They're free, I say. I sure do she replies, my son is in Iraq and I'm really scared for him. A woman next to her raises her hand and says, I'll take one. Then another person raises their hand and they take a bandana. Take what ever or as many as you want I say. Soon hands are popping up all over and beckoning me to come to them and for the next half hour or so I am in a steady flow going from person to person giving out orange. I'm thanked continually for my efforts as bandanas are wrapped around heads, wrists and baby strollers. Soon there is no where you can look without seeing orange. See report on
