[Alfred Kagan]

>FYI

>Dear Colleagues:
>
>At the meeting of Teachers for Peace and Justice on Tuesday, 8 
>October, we agreed on a multi-layered approach to opposing the 
>apparently imminent war on Iraq. To explore further our various 
>ideas we called a second meeting, for next Tuesday, 15 October, from 
>5-6 at the Illinois Program for Research in the Humanities. We hope 
>you can join us then, and ask you please to invite your colleagues 
>as well.
>
>Some of the many ideas broached at our first meeting included:
>
>1. Hosting ìPicnics for Peaceî on the Quad. For this we will needs 
>signs, banners, and handouts made, and perhaps speakers to give 
>short persuasive talks.
>
>2. Setting up combination teach-ins and cultural events, at which we 
>could host speakers, bands, poets, and so on in an attempt to foster 
>a creative space for conversation, camaraderie, and mutual political 
>education.
>
>3. Arranging formal panels similar to the ones we hosted last year. 
>For this task we will need volunteers to organize the panels, 
>contact the speakers, and promote the panels.
>
>4. Screening films. For this we will need someone to reserve 
>film-friendly spaces, find the films, and promote them.
>
>
>Additional ideas are encouraged, but please do think of ways to 
>contribute to these four plans.
>
>We look forward to seeing you next Tuesday.
