The Promise Keepers Mobilization Project: Protest the Promise Keepers Rally

SPEAK OUT AGAINST THE PROMISE KEEPERS

Who Are the Promise Keepers? Listen to what they have to say for themselves.

Join NOW as we protest the religious political extremism of the Promise Keepers and their demand that women submit to men. We will expose the right-wing leaders and supporters of Promise Keepers and challenge them to promise to work for women's equality and an end to all oppression. And we'll remind them that we will not surrender our hard won rights!

NO SURRENDER!

Date: Saturday, October 4, 1997

Time: 10:45 am -- Special Briefing 11 am to 4 pm -- Flier Distribution

Place: Grassy Triangle Between 1st Street, Constitution & Louisiana Avenues, N.W. (JUST BLOCKS FROM UNION STATION) (Across the street from the Capitol & the Promise Keepers' rally)

Who Are the Promise Keepers? Listen to what they have to say for themselves:

"Don't you understand, mister, you are royalty and God has chosen you to be priest of your home?" Tony Evans, a Promise Keeper leader

At an anti-abortion rally of terrorist group Operation Rescue, Promise Keepers founder Bill McCartney declared abortion the "second Civil War."

"I believe that slavery, and the understanding of it when you see it God's way, was redemptive." Wellington Boone, a Promise Keepers leader

Sound crazy? The Promise Keepers have attracted tens of thousands of men to meetings held in stadiums across the country -- and they'll be in D.C.

WILL YOU TAKE A STAND AGAINST THEM?
