[Peace-discuss] Re: [Peace] emergency protest action

[C. G. Estabrook]

I think AWARE should be involved in any local protests of the Israeli 
invasions, which would be impossible without US permission.

I can attend a protest at the quad during lunch tomorrow, and other 
AWAREists should be able to as well.

AWARE has a regular demonstration at Main & Neil in Champaign on the 
first Saturday of every month, 2-4pm.  In the present emergency we 
should be able to hold one this Saturday (7/15) too.  --CGE
