"Working for Social Change: A Progressive Quad Day" is on Tuesday, April 18th.  
>The idea of Progressive Quad Day is for the many organizations from the 
University campus and C-U community who work toward progressive social 
change to have tables on the Quad in front of the Illini Union on April 18th from
>approximately 11am-3pm.
>
>The purpose of Progressive Quad Day is to highlight the many different
>issues that are of concern to the progressive community, while making
>clear the common bond of working toward social change based on the
>fundamental values of humanism and stewardship that these
>organizations share.  The organizations invited to participate are
>those committed to diversity and multiculturalism, human rights and
>global health, social justice and sustainability, sexual health and
>freedom, and related issues.  We understand that not all groups will
>share all viewpoints, but we ask that all participants be respectful
>of the beliefs and practices of the other groups involved.  We hope
>that Progressive Quad Day will serve to bring together groups
>committed to progressive social change, raise awareness about each of
>our individual causes, facilitate recruitment, and be a fun time in
>the process!
>
>Each organization will be able to arrange and staff their table on
>April 18th as they see fit, so long as they have some information
>about their group and some fun component (balloons, cookies, etc.).
>There will also be dancers on the Quad to pique peoples' interest and
>contribute to a fun atmosphere.  The event is being organized by folks
>from the Coalition for Social Change, a new networking group with the
>goal of bringing together the various strands of the progressive
>community in Champaign-Urbana for event planning and coordination (see
>website listed below).  There are at least 10 orgs that have expressed
>an interest so far, and we would LOVE for you to participate, too.
>It's the diversity, issues, commitment, and fun of progressive social
>action that we want to highlight in a truly memorable event.  We hope
>that this Quad Day will be an annual event, and the beginning of
>continued cooperation between progressive campus and community groups
>in upcoming years.
