[No Government Can Give You Your] Independence Day Street Party
This event has been put together entirely by high school activists in the DC metro area, and promises to be a fun time in the "reclaim the streets" tradition. The radical street party is sponsored by Students for Peace and Justice (SPJ), a youth network for social change based in the DC metro area, and its Rockville chapter, and they're working hard to get anti-capitalists, sex-positive activists, reclaim the street'ers, and anybody else who wants to come out and have a good time.
Meet at the Rockville Metro station at 5 p.m. on Friday, July 4. After assembling, SPJ will proceed to a predetermined location near the fireworks display at Richard Montgomery High School (250 Richard Montgomery Dr.) for a street celebration in the grassroots tradition, which will include a potluck-style, vegetarian-friendly cookout, street games, percussionists and awareness raising. For more information, send an e-mail or visit SPJ's website.
