>>>protesting, perhaps becoming Bears fans ourselves.
>>>2. We made signs for the 9-11 direct action. About ten people showed up
>>>and we produced about 12 new signs, including 3 big banners reading "NO

>>>Lisa Chason.

>>>
>>>1. This Wednesday, August 28th, Tim Johnson is holding an open meeting

>>>4. Javier Ortez is doing a tour talking about the Pennsylvania-based
>>>organization "Why War?" (an AWARE-like group) and Sharon Courvie will be
>>>calling him to possibly coordinate an event in U-C.
>>>5. The University has announced that 9-11 the plaza on the quad will be
>>>reserved for memorial services to the victims of 9-11, and have taken 
>>>away
>>>the open-mic offer, so we will meet on the grass before marching to the
>>>FBI building. We plan to leaflet the entire quad about what is happening.
>>>
>>>AWARE *will* be meeting on 9/8 even though we will have just protested 
>>>war
>>>at a Bears game and hosted a teach-in the same day... of course we'll be
>>>gearing up for the 9/11 event which will occur three days later.
