[OccupyCU] local black friday campaigns.

[Stuart Levy]

What do people think about joining the one Jesse mentions below, at 8 PM 
Friday at the Urbana Walmart?

I've written to the host of that event to see what they have in mind.   
8PM seems a little odd to me - wouldn't we be more visible in daytime?   
Has anyone else heard anything about it?

I'm willing to go demonstrate with them at 8pm, but would be happy to 
*also* take part in another that afternoon if others like the idea.  
Maybe the north prospect one.

I personally would just think to line up with signs on the sidewalk, but 
am open to other suggestions.

In any case we should plan something soon.  Do we need a sign-making 
party?   I think our old sign cache includes one Walmart sign from when 
people were protesting the *building* of the Urbana store, years ago.  
And we have some general Occupy themed signs.   But nothing specifically 
about support for Walmart workers, I think.

If anyone here has an idea for a sign they'd like to see, please post it 
- if you haven't time to make it yourself, maybe someone else will!
