Our “Daya of Change" during the Democratic Convention will focus
on & cultural and artistte axpreseton of new life possibilities, Many
of the moet famous artists in the country will be participating with people
of the Minal area in « positive generation of life force against the
dosth forces of war, compatition, and the profit system, The Youth
International Party will sponser rio marches, though we will participate
in the planned peaceful demenatrations of our sistore and brothers,
We plan a feast for delegates and nonedelegates, a day Of cultural
enlightenment ageinst the war, onvironhents, dances, films and chanting.
In responce to the hundrads of calls we are recieving from throughout
the country, we are now advising young people to think first of the
Republican Convention, We are encouraging non-delegatea coming to the
Democratic Convention to be self-auffictent, and to participate in
workshops now plenned, so they can return to their local communities
and build for a massive turnout eat the Republican Convention.
More than a month ago we began contacting city officials, explaining
to tham our poaceful {ntent, and esking for cooperetion in avoiding
another Chicago. Some officials have beeri fer-aighted, ethers have
been oaterperous ostichese with their heads in the send. Some wose back
offtcials regard first Amendment rights as the priviledge of the well off;
they would deny those without money for hotel rooms their rights to expr o
their feelinge. Despite the good will of several officials, we still have
made no concrete progress at taking care of the humn needs of the
non-délegates,
Our enemy is time. As each day pasees, planning becomes more
difficult and chaos acre likely. The Youth International Party,in
teking thie bold new initiative, baa demonstrated ite good faith and
peeceful intent. Responsibiltg now lies with the Nepublican Adminiatretion
and local officfals.
