Local Anti-War Activities
Who's Piecing It All Together?
The Anti-War, Anti-Racism Effort (AWARE) is a new alliance of individuals
and groups working to oppose war and propose better alternatives.
Everyone is invited to the first meeting of AWARE:
Sunday, September 30 6 - 8 pm
at the University YMCA at Wright and Chalmers
Common Concerns:
- military build-up
- threat of global de-stabilization
- racism
- reduction of civil liberties
Why Come Together?
- coordinate efforts
- share resources and ideas
- make large scale actions possible
Questions:
Q: I am horrified by the events of September 11 and want a
response, but I don't know if I support the current cry for
war. Should I come?
A: Yes. AWARE is an alliance to discuss and act for a
reasonable response - we need to brainstorm alternatives.
Q: Who is organizing this?
A: AWARE is made up of those who come to the table to act
on common concerns. The first meeting will be facilitated by:
Laura Haber - former leader of the Committee
Against the War in the Gulf
Peter Miller - union organizer
Danielle Chynoweth - member of Urbana City Council
Q: I'm an individual, how can I join the effort?
A: Come to the YMCA on Sunday.
Q: What if I'm just looking for more information?
