[Peace-discuss] for AWARE tonight: July 4th participation for progressive group-of-groups?!

[Stuart Levy]

Hey all,

Something we should discuss tonight is July 4th parade participation.  
Submission deadline is in just over a week, and earlier would be
better.   What's been happening with this, anyone know?  Are other
groups involved at this point, has anyone undertaken to submit a parade
entry, ... ?     It's a bleak time for the anti-war movement - we should
do something!

I spoke with the Sandefurs at the Farmer's Market yesterday.   Though
PDA's official contingent will be marching with the mainline Dems this
year, which AWARE certainly would not want to do, there /will/ likely be
individual PDA people who would like to join us in a separate
progressive-or-whatever marching group, they say.

I'm also Cc'ing Lois Kain of Food and Water Watch, and some people who'd
stopped at the AWARE Market table last week (thanks Karen Aram and Ron!).

Even if we just march and carry mostly signs we already have, it'll be
worth doing.    If anyone's been proposing grander ideas that's even better.

    Stuart

[AWARE meeting tonight is 5pm-ish at Pizza M / Cafeteria & Company in
downtown Urbana, 208 W. Main St, next to Siam Terrace - generally every
Sunday at 5.]
