> Dear AWARE folks,
>
> I am writing on behalf of the Progressive Resource/Action Cooperative
> (PRC) to ask if AWARE would be interested in co-sponsoring our
> upcoming anti-"Chief" rally.
>
> The rally will be this coming Friday, October 10th at 12 noon outside
> the Henry Administration Building on the UIUC Quad. The rally will
> feature keynote speaker, Charlene Teters, founder of the anti-"Chief"
> movement. We will also be picketing outside of Henry Admin Bldg
> before and after the rally -- from 11:30-12 noon and from 1-2pm.
>
> Charlene is a Spokane Indian who founded the anti-"Chief" movement on
> our campus back in 1989. Since leaving Champaign-Urbana, she went on
> to spark a national movement against the appropriation of native
> culture and spiritual practices for mascots and sporting events.
>
> We are delighted to be able to have Charlene speak at our rally this
> year and we need your help giving her a proper welcome back to
> Champaign-Urbana and bringing people out to hear her speak about
> "Chief Illiniwek."
>
> We would love if y'all would be able to co-sponsor the rally (and we

> are asking only that you:
>
>     1. Publicize the event among your membership
>        I'll send you an email announcement to forward later.
>
>     2. Bring members to the event itself. The more the better!
>        Please let me know ahead of time how many members you expect to
attend.
>
>     3. (Optional) Invite a PRC person to attend you meeting next week.
>        We'd be happy to send someone to speak to your group about the
event.
>
> Again, I hope y'all will co-sponsor and bring people out to the
> event. Please let me know if it would be ok to add y'all as a
> co-sponsor and if you have any questions or need more information.
