[Peace] speaker from "Why War?"

[rosemary braun]

Hello again, everyone.  I'm reforwarding the letter from "Why War" 
which I passed along a couple weeks ago.

It seems to me like a great opportunity to hear from another anti-war
group -- exchange ideas, build contacts, &c -- and it would be a real
shame not to take it.

I don't feel I'm in a position to arrange it, though; who would be
interested in helping out with this?

Peace,
Rosemary

Subject: a letter from "Why War?"
From: "Javier O'Neil-Ortiz" <joneilo1 at swarthmore.edu>
X-Mailer: TWIG 2.7.4

I'm writing on behalf of the political-activist and independent media 
organization "Why War?" (www.why-war.com), a group myself and another founded 
after 9/11. From September to January I'll be travelling around the United 
States surveying the domestic climate, talking about the war, organizing, and 
just generally making connections. It seems that many of the active guiders 
of the movement that I have come across share the sentiment that, though the 
Internet is a great unifier, there are still many active groups across the 
country that know little or nothing directly of many other groups and what 
they are doing, where things stand, what ideas are forming, what to do. So 
for five months I'll be getting a taste of the unity. 

Right now I'm arranging a speaking and meeting tour across the country, so 
here I wonder if you would be interested in my coming down in representation 
of "Why War?". I would, simply, like to come down to Urbana on my trip and 
meet with you guys, partake in events and projects - form inter-
organizational relations. I look forward to your response; and take care. 

In solidarity, 
Javier O'Neil-Ortiz
