[Peace-discuss] Forward from Heather

[Bob Illyes]

Thanks everyone for your passion and ideas!!! This memorial is an
incredibly important time for solidarity around human rights and social
justice and I look forward to coming together as a community. Democracy
Now has devoted two days this week to Dr. Tiller and abortion rights,
and worth a listen/watch.

Here's quote from Dr. Tiller: "We've given war, pestilence, hate, greed,
judgment, ego, self-sufficiency a good try, and it failed. We need a new
paradigm that consists of kindness, courtesy, justice, love and respect
in all our relationships."

So, here's my suggested plan, since we need to make a few commitments.

1. Let's have the memorial at 10am at the United States Courthouse
building - 201 S Vine St at Elm in Urbana. Flyers to be passed out at
the Farmer's Market beforehand.

2. Tonight, I will work on an announcement/press release (with
collaboration, I hope!) and send it to you for distribution sometime
tomorrow. Wayne Johnson has offered to write an article, any other
writers who can help with this?

3. Let's meet on Thursday from 7-8:30pm at the Women's Resources Center
to discuss flyers, posters, and other plans for Saturday. It's located
at the corner of Wright and Green (703 S. Wright Street) on the second
floor above the bank on the corner. My phone is 707-845-0572 if you have
trouble finding it.

In solidarity with you all!

Heather
