It's the first Saturday of November, and AWARE will be out as ever
at Main and Neil from 2-4 PM.<br>
<br>
Why?<br>
<br>
David Swanson <a
href="http://warisacrime.org/content/swing-state-pickup-lines">says
it</a>:<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">Change comes from broad-based popular
movements that impact the entire culture. This is how we got
civil and political rights, how we got workplace rights and
environmental protections -- such as they are. Everything worth
achieving has been achieved by educating, organizing, inspiring,
and pressuring the government, and not by picking the right
portion of the government to reelect, cheer for, and withhold all
criticism from.</blockquote>
and<br>
<br>
<blockquote type="cite">By activism I mean educating, organizing,
rallying, marching, lobbying, reporting, editorializing,
inspiring, blockading, boycotting, interrupting, mocking,
replacing, and nonviolently resisting evil policies in the
thousands and thousands of ways available to nonviolent activists.</blockquote>

Carl has made this month's flyer from Swanson's wonderful article -
<a href="http://warisacrime.org/content/swing-state-pickup-lines">Swing
State Pickup Lines</a>. Come practice them with us. And oh
yeah, stand up against the wars, while you're at it.<br>
