[OccupyCU] Trayvon Martin speak-out (Mon 8pm); NATO/G8 working group (Tue 7:30pm); Irreverent Story of NATO/G8 (Thu 7pm)

[Stuart Levy]

Not sure why these announcements from Damián might not be making it to 
the OccupyCU list.  Here's a try from Stuart...

I assume the NATO/G8 working group will meet *Tuesday*, March 27th 
rather than the Thurs. mentioned below (which is the 29th).

Hey Stuart,

I can't figure out why I haven't been able to send an email to our 
Occupy CU listserv. Can you help me make these three announcements? 
Thanks a lot.

* TONIGHT: *We are all Trayvon Martin speak-out/vigil*: It's been a 
month since Trayvon was killed and people all over the country will be 
gathering in solidarity with Trayvon's family to demand justice and 
oppose racism. We'll gather at *8:00 pm in front of Alma Mater (Green 
and Wright.)* Bring signs, hoodies, candles, etc.
Also, it is necessary to mention that just within the last 7 days, there 
have been two more cases of racially related killings, one in the 
Chicago esst side, where an off-duty police officer shot an unarmed 
african-american woman; the other one close to San Diego, where an Iraqi 
immigrant woman was beaten to death and a note was found close to her 
body saying something like "go back to your country, you terrorist". We 
will stand up to denounce these crimes also, because an injury to one is 
an injury to all!

* TUESDAY: *NATO/G8 working group* will be meeting this *Thursday*, 
*March 27, at 7:30 pm. Location: Q'doba* on Green St. (between Wright 
and 6th Streets).
We will be fine-tuning the written materials that we have thus far 
produced, and we will distribute tasks for outreach to different 
community and student groups, as well as media outlets (radio shows, 
newspapers.) Also, we will continue to discuss ideas for the logistical 
side of our mission in May.

* THURSDAY: *"A Short and Irreverent Story of NATO and G8"*, with Eric 
Ruder from CANG8 (Coalition Against NATO and G8.) *Thursday, March 29, 
7:00pm in Noyes Laboratory, Room 163 (505 South Mathews Ave., Urbana.)* 
This teach-in will cover a short history of both NATO and G8, what 
they’ve done and do in the world, and how their decisions—made by 
largely unaccountable and unelected people at big summits—shape the 
lives of the global 99 percent. The immense resources they’ve commanded 
throughout the last several decades have largely created the world we 
now inhabit, and understanding these processes—both economic and 
political— and why we should protest them, is the main objective of this 
meeting.

Damián.
