The ADL National Meeting is in town from Nov. 1st though Nov. 3rd.
They will be voting on a resolution, introduced by the ADL's New England branch, to unambiguously recognize the Armenian Genocide and support U.S. recognition of the Genocide.
Join the good folks at Jewcy and No Place for Denial for a hastily organized, totally spontaneous, peaceful demonstration in front of the ADL Headquarters on
Thursday, November 1 @ 7pm
Youthful representatives of two ancient peoples will hit the pavement to demand that the ADL come down on the right side of a key human rights issue: UNQUALIFIED OPPOSITION TO GENOCIDE DENIAL
Spontaneous, irreverent, unscripted, a celebration of Jewish-Armenian solidarity, hard hitting political messages transmitted through irony, parody and verse...impromptu speeches and chants...
B.Y.O. signs and slogans...
==============================
UPDATE: Rally Set & Armenian Folk/Klezmer Band to Perform
Everything is set and the rally will take place at 605 Third Ave & 40th St. There will be:
1--an update about the NO PLACE FOR DENIAL effort
2--information about why the ADL must support US/Federal recognition of the Armenian Genocide
3--prominent Jewish American voices from Boston and Jewcy.com who have been a strong supporters of Armenian Genocide recognition
4--poems read by prominent writers, including novelist Arthur Nersesian & curator Neery Melkonian
5--and most importantly we got a music permit and we've invited an ARMENIAN FOLK & KLEZMER TRIO!!!!!!
Samvel, the trumpet player, is the guy who composed and played the soulful tune that became the official anthem of the anti-Soviet marches in the late 80's!! It is his trumpet that kicked off the demos in Liberty Square!! He's also played in several NY-area klezmer bands.
Come out and support the peaceful, colorful rally that will ask the ADL to STOP SUPPORTING TURKEY'S DENIAL OF THE ARMENIAN GENOCIDE.
