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

[Karen Aram]

Stuart, if they want to know by this weekend then perhaps you should go ahead and tell them “Yes, AWARE will co sponsor,” and “yes we will have a couple of people speak.” We always have people to speak. Carl reading the recent flyer is only one.

Since you, Carl and I have already agreed this is a good idea. We need not wait until the meeting this evening.

I can’t imagine either David G., David J. or Karen ML not supporting it.

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).

Heard from Ahmed Taha of Muslim American Society: on Tuesday, Feb. 28th, for Black History Month, they're doing an event - two speakers including sociologist Evelyn Reynolds, and someone coming down from Chicago, and an award to Rebecca Ginsburg for her Education Justice Project work.

They are inviting activist groups around the area to (a) cosponsor and (b) speak briefly, for a minute or two, to let community members know what they're up to and encourage them to join in.

Cosponsorship wouldn't involve money, just encouraging our members to come to the event.

AWARE is invited.   Should we agree to cosponsor - and offer to speak?

I think this could be a good bridge-building thing to do.

They'd like to know by this weekend, since they're drawing up the flyer now, which will list cosponsoring groups.   Maybe we can talk about this at Sunday's AWARE meeting.
