Press Action Today

UPDATE: Mayor Marty is so afraid of young people that he has now moved the press conference to his office. Heaven forbid that all voices be heard in Marty's World.


Re: DEVELOPMENTS RE. SWOP YOUTH "ROCK OUT" EVENT

WHAT: PRESS ACTION TODAY
WHERE: ALBUQUERQUE CIVIC PLAZA
WHEN: 3:30PM


BE AT CIVIC PLAZA TODAY (WEDNESDAY) AT 3:30 PM! RESPOND TO THE CITY'S DENIAL OF PERMIT FOR POSITIVE YOUTH ACTIVITIES!


The other day the City of Albuquerque, without informing event organizers directly, denied a permit for the "Rock Out for your Cause Out" event planned by the youth of the SouthWest Organizing Project and others for this coming Saturday afternoon. The youth had originally scheduled a press conference for tomorrow at 3:30pm to address the issue.

Mayor Martin Chavez has called a pre-emptive press conference of his own this afternoon, Wednesday, at 3:30pm in an attempt to beat the SWOP youth and their allies to the punch.


SWOP'S YOUTH AND OTHERS WILL BE THERE TO MAKE SURE THEIR VOICES ARE HEARD BY THE MEDIA AND PUBLIC.

THEY REQUEST THAT ALL WHO CAN COME TO ABQ CIVIC PLAZA TO SHOW THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE YOUTH OF THE CITY.
