March on Washington to End the War in Iraq

Washington, DC

Braving the vicissitudes of Route 95 and Amtrak, the RMO mobilized to travel to D.C. and participate, along with 150,000 to 250,000 other activists, in a massive anti-war rally.  We started off by leading a feeder march (sponsored by Mobilization for Global Justice) to protest the policies of the World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), held to coincide with the fall meetings of the World Bank and IMF, which were happening on the same weekend. After joining up with the main march, we headed to Pennsylvania Avenue, where we had the pleasure of leading a huge crowd in flipping off the white house.

NY For New Orleans Benefit at Club Exit

A benefit for victims of Hurricane Katrina.

The City Reliquary’s 2nd Annual September Tribute to Our City

Havemeyer and Grand Street, Williamsburg

This little patch of Brooklyn was closed to traffic and open to food (including smoothies made by a bike-powered blender), music, humans and dogs. After a great performance by Circus Contraption, who made us all do some weird elephant dance, we played for great neighbor children + adults. It was great to spend the anniversary of a tragic event doing something positive to celebrate community.

Rooftop Party/Battered Women’s Shelter Hurricane Relief Fundraiser

Liz’s roof in Washington Heights, Manhattan: Dance party on Liz’s roof, with a fabulous glittery view of the George Washington Bridge and New Jersey. There was a beautiful view, and beautiful music until the recently-anointed Trumpet Monkey played so loudly the cops came.

We raised funds for the Louisiana Domestic Violence Victim’s Hurricane Relief Fund, which is a
project of the Louisiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence
