If we have a What Next for Occupy CU meeting scheduled for Monday
evening 12/3, as Theresa's notes mention (thanks, Theresa!), can we move
it to another day/time?
There are **two** other things that I'd like to be doing at that same
time - an *activist training session* which may really be useful to us
Occupiers, and, a film and discussion about the *life of a returning
veteran,* with discussion by local vets and allies. Maybe a bunch of
us will feel the same way about at least one of those.
*12/3 Monday, 6:00 PM* Champaign Library, Robeson room "A"
*Activist training* - sponsored by Food & Water Watch, but it sounds
widely applicable:
> *Do you want to improve social, environmental, or political
> problems but not know how to start? *Or know how to start, but get
> stuck trying to build a group, accomplish goals, or recruiting
> volunteers? Whether you're new to activism or experienced, come to
> our*Activist Training Workshop, <http://tinyurl.com/d84p7r9>
> *sponsored by Food & Water Watch. *You'll learn and practice
> critical campaign skills*, including: setting goals, strategies,
> and tactics; campaign recruitment and building a group; and
> training volunteers. And we'll have a fun social afterward in
> downtown Champaign!

*12/3 Monday 6:30-8:30PM* Channing-Murray Foundation - Social Justice
Film Series
*"Hell and Back Again"* <http://www.hellandbackagain.com/>
Film about the life of a returning Afghanistan veteran,
followed by talk-back with Champaign County Iraq Veterans Against the
War, and Civilian Soldier Alliance
> Hell and Back Again transitions from stunning war reportage to an
> intimate, visceral portrait of one man's personal struggle at home
> in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and
> emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the
> love and support of his wife, Ashley. Masterfully contrasting the
> intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home,
> Hell and Back Again lays bare the true cost of war.
> Co-sponsored by Social Action Committee of UU Church, Friends
> Meeting, University YMCA, Wesley United Methodist Church and
> Foundation
> *Free and open to the public. Refreshments will be provided.
