[Peace-discuss] Fw: Please help with a Global Vigil for Peace

[Lisa Chason]

we could do this Sunday night after the AWARE mtg. Pick a spot in downtown
Urbana -- perhaps in front of the courthouse/federal bldg(?), where the
christmas caroling took place. We could send a message to all the names on
this email to meet there at 7pm (we go over together post-mtg). And we
should have plenty of Day of War flyers to pass out there...
Other ideas?
