I'll march whatever contingent we're in.

David Johnson suggested the IWW, Black Lives Matter, other groups that are opposed to war, and do not support the Democratic Party. David is going or gone, on vacation so I hope he has passed the contact details to you by now.

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.]
