[Peace-discuss] cosponsorship? Tue 2/28 Muslim American Society event

[Carl G. Estabrook]

What is their position/platform? 

It seems like we should "(a) cosponsor and (b) speak briefly” on anti-war themes.

If we were to speak for a minute or two, we could read our flyer from last week’s demonstration (appended).
