[Peace-discuss] 6th Annual Unity March Oct. 3

[Neil Parthun]

Sixth Annual Unity March
October 3rd, 12:00 noon


Dear AWARE,
Champaign Urbana Citizens for Peace and Justice, CUCPJ, is organizing  
the Sixth Annual Unity March for Saturday, October 3rd.  The march  
will kick-off at noon from the Champaign City Building in downtown  
Champaign and proceed along University Avenue to the County  
Courthouse Plaza in Urbana for a brief rally.


This year’s theme focuses on the lack of adequate housing,  
healthcare, and food for the growing number of needy in Champaign  
County.  We believe these items are basic human rights.  The failure  
of the community to adequately respond to these human needs is  
fundamentally about the lack of connectedness with family, friends  
and the broader community. It is about people’s lack of control over  
their own environment and lives.

Through your past participation and support, we have been able to  
have five inspiring marches. We would like to thank you for this  
support.

But, now we need your help to have another successful community Unity  
March.  Will you partner with us to bring about greater public  
awareness and to build a coalition of concerned citizens to work  
county-wide with other elected representatives to shape local  
policies and action initiatives to begin to seriously address these  
growing human and social problems in our community?

You can help by:

Ø    Joining us on October 3, 2009 @ Noon

Ø    Spreading the word and sharing this information within your  
organization
Ø    Helping us collect blankets and bedding for Safe Haven  
residents, bring to the march

Ø    Providing transportation for marchers back to Champaign City Hall

Ø    Providing refreshments at the conclusion of the march, Family  
Room @ IMC

Ø    Join a committee to work with elected officials

Ø    Make a small financial donation to help offset costs to CUCPJ,   
mail to P.O. Box 1, Urbana Il 61802

Please feel free to respond to any of the above ways to help via  
email to Neil Parthun lennybrucefan at gmail.com.  Any help, large or  
small is all greatly appreciated.

We thank you in advance for your support, interest and participation.
