Urgent
Announcements for This Weekend
NYC,
North Carolina, Texas
Assalaamu Alaikum
(Greetings of Peace):
I begin with a
heartfelt note of thanks and congratulations to "Justice By The
Pen" (its founders Hany and Ayesha), and the
coalition partners who helped organize the excellent outdoor Aafia
Siddiqui initiative in Jackson Heights, NY this past weekend. (I will
have more to say on this later, insha'Allah)
I received a call yesterday from a Washington
area imam, who happens to be Egyptian, who asked if it would be
possible for me to take a trip to New York City this Saturday
and speak at the planned demonstration at the UN regarding Egypt. I am already
committed to a couple of speaking engagements in North Carolina this
weekend, and thus, I will not be able to participate in the NY
initiative. I do endorse the effort, however, and encourage our friends
and supporters in the New York Tri-State area (New York, New Jersey and
Connecticut) to fully support the effort in whatever way you possibly
can, inshaAllah.
Last year at this
same time - during the UN General Assembly - a personally witnessed a
sizeable demonstration that was organized in the vicinity of the
UN by disgruntled opponents of the [then] newly
elected, and now deposed president, Mohamed Morsi
(who had just assumed office)! Saturday will be an
opportunity for people of good will to present a counter-narrative in the
public square. What follows is a message from a friend, followed by a few
travel related details (from the DC area) on this upcoming
initiative.

The Egyptian Americans for Democracy and Human Rights (EADHR)
|

is inviting concerned
Egyptians and Non-Egyptians in the Washington DC area to join us in
a trip to NY city on Saturday September 28, 2013 to protest the
participation of the Egyptian Military Coup Delegates in the UN
Annual General Assembly Meetings. We need the most number of
anti-coup protesters to attend as the bloody coup supporters are
also going to protest in front of the UN headquarters. Last
year, Dr. Morsi, the first ever democratically elected president,
represented Egypt. This year, the illegal coup
government is sending Mr. Nabil Fahmy (instead of their illegal
puppet president Adly Mansour). We must outnumber the pro-coup
protesters (in sha Allah) to denounce the delegates of the bloody
coup.
The demonstration will take place from 9:00 am to 1:00 p.m. on
Saturday September 28, 2013.
Buses will leave VA & MD around 4:00 am on Saturday
9/28/2013.
The cost will be $15.00 per person ($30 per family).
Reservation
required.
Donations accepted. Some free seats are available.
We encourage everyone to commit to this valuable cause as soon
as possible by sending an email to:
Virginia:
ALYSOL@ATT.NET
Maryland: d.ahamdy@gmail.com
Please indicate your name,
no. of persons in your family/group, your email address and your
cell phone
number.
