>Dear Freedom Ride Co-sponsors,
>
>This is Demian Kogan and Lian Alan, two of the organizers of the Champaign
>stop of the Illinois Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride. We wanted to send you an
>email to thank you for all your support during the local events for the
>Freedom Rides.  Without your help, we would not have had 200 people attend the
>Champaign Freedom Rides rally on September 29th.  Because of your work, the
>freedom riders were personally able to meet U of I’s Chancellor Nancy Cantor,
>and get commitments from her to support efforts to grant equal access of
>higher education of undocumented students in Illinois!  We were also able to
>personally deliver our 200 postcards in support of the Student Adjustment Act
>to Tim Johnson himself! His office has sent responses to each one of his
>constituents who signed a postcard!
>
>We wanted to get a sense of what your thoughts were on the event as a whole.
>We’d love to hear your thoughts and critiques. We must also realize that we
>have a long way to go before we win this campaign for immigrations law reform.
>The local Freedom Rides organizers are working with the East Central Illinois
>Refugee Mutual Assistance Center, and we will be sure to keep you updated
>about future plans.
>
>We I realize the recognition of your work is long over due.  We apologize for
>the lateness of this letter. We look forward to working with you and your
>leaders in the future. Thank you again for all the time and hard work you put
>into this important issue!
>
>
>Sincerely,
>Demian Kogan
>     &
>Lian Alan
