YOUTH ACT NOW! (Youth for Accountability and Truth Now!) today scoffed at Malacanang’s staged ‘unity walk’ with youth and students yesterday, saying that today’s youth-led rally is the genuine ‘youth unity in prayer and action’.

“Youth and students came here of their own volition despite sabotage attempts, black propaganda and other threats. This is the real unity walk of the youth, led by the youth, for the youth and not just for self-serving photo opportunities,” said Youth Act now! Spokesperson Alvin Peters.

March14 is the birthday of Albert Einstein.
The quote is a sign posted by Einstein on his classroom door:

In the turbulent aftermath of the war Einstein continued to speak out. Famously, on the day Kaiser Wilhelm abdicated—it was during a fortnight that saw not only the armistice, but the fall of seven other European monarchies, all replaced, for the moment, by liberal and socialist regimes—Einstein posted a sign on his classroom’s door that read “CLASS CANCELLED—REVOLUTION.” He had joined with and defended liberal and radical students and colleagues for their wartime opposition; now he was with them in their postwar resistance to the burgeoning revanchist militarism that would quickly morph into Nazism.

Today, March 14, is also the last rally before the holy week for truth, justice and accountability to be held at Liwasang Bonifacio by various groups coming from many assembly points in Metro Manila.
