I think this is very important, and will participate if I can,
but to involve AWARE people in planning let's include
peace-discuss at lists.chambana.net for now rather than peace at lists.chambana.net --
the "peace" list is intended to be a low-traffic list for announcements.
When arrangements are set, then sending those to "peace" will be a good thing.

AWARE's monthly antiwar demonstration will be that (Sat the 6th) afternoon,
2-4pm, though it doesn't generally have the character of a vigil/rally.  So I hope
the vigil remembering Dr. Tiller can be at a different time. 

Maybe we could offer to spread word of the event at the
Farmer's Market that morning, too?
