"The Power of Truth March/Rally"
This announcement is from Moms Against Mercury.
In light of all the media buzz about our cause and the terrible ABC report, several parent advocacy groups have joined together and are holding a march/rally in Washington, DC.
WHY? Because we know the truth, and it is time our voices are heard even louder!
WHERE? West Front Grassy Area Capitol Building, Washington, DC
WHO? Organized and supported by Moms Against Mercury, National Autism Association, Safeminds, CoMed, A-CHAMP, Dads Against Mercury, Generation Rescue, NoMercury, NVIC, Unlocking Autism, Educate Before You Vaccinate
WHEN? Wednesday, July 20, 2005 8:30am March 9:30 Rally/Press Conference
Times may vary a little to support speaker schedules.
WHAT TO BRING? Personally designed signs, posters, etc.
WHAT TO WEAR? Wear comfortable, cool clothing.
Rally T-Shirts are now being sold. You can pre-order them at:
http://www.nationalautism association.org/proddetail.php?prod=RallyTshirt
