The march is designed to emphasize Guinean women’s participation in particular, and thousands of people are expected to join in from around the country.<BR><BR>It’s short notice – but can we mobilize as many Guinean and non-Guinean friends of <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:country-region w:st="on">Guinea</st1:country-region></st1:place> from the Alliance Guinea group to join in as well?<BR><BR>The
march will begin at 10am Monday in <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Lafayette</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType w:st="on">Park</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> in DC, and will include stops at the State Department and possibly Capitol Hill. We are also making arrangements for smaller meetings with key State and Hill representatives to inform, show support for statements made thus far, and discuss ways to move forward.<BR><BR>If you are in the Washington/MD/VA area, we hope to see you there. If you are in another city, especially on the East Coast, and wish to get connected with transportation to and from the march with others from your area, please email allianceguinea @ gmail.com.<BR><BR>Let’s make this as big a show of solidarity as possible – demonstrating that Guinean tragedies and dreams are everyone’s tragedies and dreams.</SPAN></FONT></P><BR> </DIV>
