if you can, on friday 20 april do not engage in corporate commerce of any kind. no gasoline. no cigarettes. no restaurants. no trips to the mega-mart. consider potluck dinners with friends using old cans of goods you've forgotten in the pantry.
if you can, the week ending friday 20 april do not engage in corporate commerce of any kind. from monday 16 april, ride your bike or discover public transit in lieu of pumping billions more into the coffers of megalithic oil companies -- into the same corporate structures that exert effective and undemocratic control over your government and profit from the mass imprisonment of your fellow citizens. consider stocking up the weekend prior on fine organics from your local farmer's market.
if you can, on friday 20 april do not work. volunteer in your community. walk or bike to the library and hand out pamphlets. call your representatives in local, state, and federal office.
if you can, at 20 minutes past 4 pm on friday 20 april show up at your county courthouse or state capitol and demand the decriminalisation of marijuana. demand the end of a drug war that ruins vastly more lives than it purports to save, costs hundreds of billions of dollars that are sorely needed elsewhere, creates criminals where there were none, creates violent crime where there was none, creates prisoners out of citizens at a rate unsurpassed in the free world, and creates profit growth for those who build prisons and violently wage both sides of this immoral war against ourselves.
if you can, on friday 20 april -- two months from today -- take back the spirit of democracy that has been absent for far too long. on friday 20 april demand the overwhelming voice of reason be heard.
