[Peace-discuss] AWARE - ok, let's ***call off*** today's demonstration. [but note Bend the Arc DACA march at 11:30]

[Stuart Levy]

Sending to Peace list too:

    It's expected to be very windy today, as well as fairly cold. 
    Let's *cancel* today's AWARE demonstration for Saturday, Feb 3rd.

    We can look for a Saturday with better weather as David suggests.

Also, James M. points out the Bend the Arc demonstration at
11:30am-12:30pm today in support of DACA.
It's only an hour, and the wind isn't forecast to be as strong by then
as it will be by midafternoon.
Starts at WCIA on Neil St.   Here are details for those interested:

They write:

    The Dreamers lives hang in the balance. Their families lives also
    hang in the balance. We want to show Rodney Davis, John Shimkus and
    all other congresspeople that refuse to have a clean Dream Act, that
    we, the people in their districts, support a path for the Dreamers
    that also keep their families together. We want the press to notice
    us, so they can amplify our voices.

    WITH THE PRESS IN MIND:

    Please join us in marching from the *WCIA Channel 3 office on Neil
    St in Champaign* to the *News-Gazette office at 15 Main St *in
    downtown Champaign. Bring signs in support of the Dreamers. We will
    be singing and chanting all along the way. This totals about 2/3
    mile distance. If we are at their doorsteps, howcan they miss us?

    For those who are not able to walk or would prefer not to, we have a
    very special task for all of you. We will be walking north on Neil
    St from the WCIA offices to Main St. Then we will walk east on Main
    St to the News-Gazette offices. Could each of you drive to a parking
    lot along this route? Bring your DACA signs. As soon as the group
    reaches your location, can you wave your signs and honk your horns
    while we are all passing by? This way, everyone will notice us.

    We would like a general number of about how many marchers and
    honkers to expect. So please note if you are going.

    #DreamActNow
