[Peace-discuss] Event announcement

[C G Estabrook]

At the regular AWARE meeting on October 8, members of AWARE considered what their reaction should be - in conjunction with the antiwar movement at large - in the event of a US armed attack on North Korea, Iran, or elsewhere.

It was suggested that the most prominent US government installation in Champaign County was probably the Federal Courthouse at 201 S. Vine St. in Urbana.

A significant expansion of US war-making - we're already at war in eight countries - should produce anti-war demonstrations around the country. AWARE's should probably be centered on the sidewalk in the 200 block of S. Vine Street (and perhaps around the corner on E. Main Street).

We should make plans for such a demonstration and use the means available to publicize them, and to communicate them to anti-war individuals and organizations in the area. Meanwhile, we should continue our presence at the Market, our monthly demonstration, and UPTV. Perhaps a new flyer discussing such plans is in order.
