PCPJ Predicts 3000 From Boston in D.C.

About 3000 people from the Boston area will participate in the planned civil disruption of Washington, D.C. this weekend, according to spokesmen for the Mayday Collective and the People's Coalition for Peace and Justice.

"We expect about 50,000 people from all over," a Mayday member reported, "we're sending seven buses from here, and a lot of people are hitchhiking down or driving their own cars."

A PCPJ representative said last night that the $20 cost of the bus trip, and the fact that the buses will not return to Boston until next Tuesday, kept the number of participants taking the buses low. "We've let people know that the buses are available, but we haven't pushed them at all. Some people just don't have the bread," the representative said.

The seven buses, one of which is a women's free bus, left last night from B.U. Neither the PCPJ nor Mayday would predict the course the Washington actions will take.
