Is virtually an adverb modifying anything "virtually anything",<br>
implying that some things could not be distributed but most things
could?<br>
<br>
or<br>
<br>
Is virtually an adverb modifying distribute "distribute virtually"<br>
indicating use of an electronic medium for distribution?<br>

Hey Karen and everybody,<br>
<br>
We seem to be evenly split between meeting virtually vs meeting
at 4.
Karen (Medina) and I are game to show up at 4 today, at the
usual White
Horse, with whoever else would like to, for say not more than 45
minutes... and we can distribute virtually anything we come up
with.<br>
<br>
<br>
Two important things I left out of the earlier note:<br>
<br>
1) Right, <b>Quad Day: Sunday, </b><b>Aug. 25th, noon-4PM.</b><br>
I haven't heard of any arrangements so far. I think David
Green
was asking SJP whether they'd let us join them, but don't know
if we've
heard back yet. The ISO also has a table, and perhaps we could
ask
them. Both are near the northwest corner of the quad, in a
ghetto
reserved for political groups, on a diagonal sidewalk just south
of the
western side of the Illini Union.<br>
<br>
A question for us: if we have the chance to, <b>how should
we
present ourselves</b> at Quad Day? We don't currently have a
what-is-AWARE flyer; <b>would anyone be up for work on creating
one? </b>
In any case, we could bring some recent demonstration flyers,
and
possibly a demo sign if our host agrees to that. Carl liked
one that
we'd been using at the Farmer's Market, celebrating three great
whistleblowers - Ellsberg, Manning, Snowden.<br>
<br>
In any case we'd want the signup clipboard. Gathering
contact
information for interested people will be important.<br>
<br>
2) <b>March on Washington</b>, next <b>Sat, Aug 24th</b>.<br>
Next weekend is the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on
Washington. A large demo is planned for the 24th.<br>
<br>
The NAACP (at least) is organizing buses from around
Illinois, and
trying to get people to DC. Several buses are planned from
around the
state - not sure whether one is passing through C-U, but it
could be,
and may depend on whether there's interest. The rally is
Saturday
morning and afternoon, so I imagine a bus might leave (here or
Peoria
or Kankakee) sometime Friday afternoon, and return some time
Sunday.<br>
<br>
Patricia Avery, of the NAACP of Champaign County <a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://naacpcc.org">http://naacpcc.org</a>,
is I think coordinating:<br>
patricicavery {at} gmail.com (yes, really
patricicavery).<br>
<br>
There are buses from Kankakee and Chicago; there's also
one from
Springfield which could stop in C-U if there's enough
interest. The
Springfield bus plans to stay overnight in DC ($99 hotel rooms),
the
others will drive back after the rally.<br>
<br>
<big>What could people of the peace movement expect from this
event? There's been some discussion of that on the UFPJ
mailing
list. Phyllis Bennis wrote:</big><br>

I am okay with 4:00pm. If you and Karen need a ride to
the meeting, let

Question: Do we share a table with a group at the Quad

Carl was going to ask David Green about that. If so,
we need to discuss.<br>

I am also interested in discussing support and

Subject: [Peace-discuss] AWARE meeting - What do we
need this week? (re
5pm Sun showing of locally-made film)<br>
<br>
Peaceable people,<br>
<br>
What do we need to decide at our next meeting,
normally today at 5pm?<br>
<br>
It's at the same time as the only showing of a locally
made film (<a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://smilepolitely.com/arts/enter_house_of_thaddeus/"
target="_blank">"House of Thaddeus"</a>, 5pm sharp
at the Art Theater,
today, Sunday the 18th). I'd really like to see
this, maybe others
would too. Can we do business by e-mail today? Or,
Karen suggests,
we could meet earlier, say 4pm. Or we could meet at
5 as usual. <br>
<br>
<br>
Upcoming events:<br>
<br>
10AM Tuesday, Aug 20th: Comprehensive Immigration
Reform rally at
Rep. Rodney Davis' office, 2004 Fox Drive, Champaign.<br>
The Immigration Forum group is encouraging
anyone interested in
immigration reform to attend this rally, to help press
Davis to support
the cause. (In Peoria, Illinois People's Action
recently got Aaron
Schock, a right-wing Republican, to agree to support
having a path to
citizenship.)<br>
<br>
<br>
8-noon, Saturday, Aug 24th: still not sure whether
we'll have a
space at Farmer's Market next week. The spaces are
full, though
they're checking whether we might be able to be on a
waiting list.<br>
<br>
<br>
1:30PM Sunday, Sep 1st, Champaign Public Library:
David Green
announces his candidacy for US Congress!<br>
<br>
<br>
2-4PM Saturday, Sep 7th, Main & Neil: monthly
demonstration.<br>
