Over the past few weeks, Egypt has been rocked by another wave of revolutionary activity.


Demonstrations all over the country have drawn tens of thousands and they have all been met with state repression as the security forces, controlled by President Mori of the Muslim Brotherhood party. Black Blocairo has called for solidarity actions and demonstrations on  the 6th of February around the world to draw attention to the desperate situation the people of Egypt are facing.

 

 

Call out to organize action the night of February the 6th from Egyptian revolutionaries:

I do not have Facebook but I did when the initial Egypt solidarity rally took place.

i searched "solidarity with egypt rally atlanta cnn facebook" on google and the first thing that pulled up was the origional event.  I can't see it because I dont have a facebook account but I do remember there being hundreds of people on the list.  Might be worth checking for the purpose of sending out invites and messages or to contact and coordinate with other organizers.
