[Peace-discuss] Cosponsor PRC Anti-War Event?

[Randall Cotton]

Hi Jen,

We did discuss your request this evening and we would indeed be happy to
co-sponsor the Dave Adams event.

If you all provided us with flyers before next Saturday, we would be happy to
distribute them at our February 4th "Main Event" street demonstration at Main
and Neil. We're typically able to distribute 200-300 flyers amongst the random
cars that stop at the light during the two hours we're out there with our signs.

Please feel free to respond to me directly if you're interested in following up
on that,
R

Hey--

This is Jen Tayabji from the Progressive Resource/Action Cooperative (PRC).
I am emailing you today to request AWARE'S co-sponsorship of an upcoming PRC
event. I apologize I didn't get this out sooner--hopefully you might be able
to discuss this at tonight's meeting!!

On February 11th, the PRC will be hosting speaker Dave Adams, who is an Iraq
war veteran and member of the Iraq Veterans Against the War. He will be
speaking about his personal experiences serving in Iraq and why he is now
speaking out against the war.  The event will be followed with a question
and answer session. His talk will begin at 2pm and will be held at the IL
Disciples Foundation.

We are looking for organizations to cosponsor this event by allowing us to
use their name in the publicity, by helping us publicize the event (sending
out an email, having us speak at a org. meeting, etc.), and by helping bring
out people to attend this event.

We are also looking for financial donations to cover Dave's travel, lodging,
and honorarium expenses. But financial donations are not required to
cosponsor the event.

Please let me know by 5pm on Wednesday, February 1st if AWARE would like to
cosponsor.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact me!

In solidarity,
Jen Tayabji
PRC Co-coordinator

"If we remember those times and places--and there are so many--where people
have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least
the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different
direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait
for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of
presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance
of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."
