[Peace] palestine video group seeking sponsorship

[sarah elzbieta kanouse]

Hi AWARE people--

I'm forwarding you all this request for space and an audience for what
looks like a great presentation on Palestine.  I'm also forwarding it to
the IMC and gave them the IDF contact information, as a co-sponsored
hosting may be possible.

Hi,

I go your email address from Brooke Lehman, from Direct Action Network-NYC.
I'm writing because I'm part of a group of activists organizing a tour with
first hand reports and video from nonviolent direct action in Palestine.
We're going to be going through Illinois in Mid-October, and we're looking
for a group to sponsor or co-sponsor one of our events (in other words, hoo=
k
us up with a space and an audience).

Would you, or any organization you know, be interested?

Below is some more info on the tour.  Please let me know if you have any
ideas.

in solidarity,

-jordan
