*************

The Fast & Vigil takes place on the sidewalk in front of the U.S. 
Supreme Court, considered by many to be the heart of the legalized 
killing machines in this country. In addition to the strong public 
witness, this is an excellent opportunity to meet other abolitionists 
and to "recharge your batteries" while engaging in public outreach 
and maintaining a physical presence at the Court. ***FASTING IS OPTIONAL***

BOTTOM LINE, this is a great experience and training ground for 
people who want to learn more about this issue and to become very 
adept at talking about the dp.

Prisoners, activists from other countries, and abolitionists who are 
unable to come to Washington, D.C. have fasted or held events in 
solidarity with the action at the Court. This tradition continues to 
grow as well - those who participate in solidarity are asked to 
communicate details of their actions and contact information to the 
Fast & Vigil organizers. E-mail aac at abolition.org or write to the 
address below.

The Abolitionist Actionn Committee (AAC) is an ad-hoc group of

direct action.
