Dear Friends,

The Anti-"Chief" Month of Action is under way! The Progressive 
Resource/Action Cooperative along with dozens of other organizations 
have formed an Anti-’"Chief" Coalition. Collectively, we worked 
together to compile an entire month of Anti-"Chief" activity in our 
campus and community in order to make our unified voice to the UI 
Board of trustees loud and clear: VOTE TO ELIMINATE "CHIEF ILLINIWEK" 
ON MARCH 11!

Three member organizations of the Coalition have organized showings 
of Jay Rosenstein's "In Whose Honor?" throughout the week of February 
17 to February 22.

"In Whose Honor?" takes a critical look at the long-running practice 
of "honoring" American Indians by using them as mascots and nicknames 
in sports. "In Whose Honor?" examines the issues of race, 
stereotypes, minority representation and the powerful effects of mass 
media imagery. For more information, visit:
