I personally am not going to do anything about it, but I know who the group
is.  It's an educational outreach of Voices in the Wilderness, the group in
Chicago started by Kathy Kelly that started protesting the sanctions in
Iraq about 10 or 12 years ago, and sent groups there with food and medicine
despite the fact that it was illegal to do so.  Civil disobedience, I think
it's called.  

Kathy Kelly has been in C-U once or twice in the past couple of years.  She
recently did some time in the federal prison in Pekin, IL for her civil
disobedience at the School of the Americas.  I'm sure this group would draw
a crowd, and it could maybe be tied to an Indymedia fundraiser or something.
