[Peace] More info on CACC rally: Alternative soda tasting

[Randall Cotton]

Here is some more detail on the upcoming rally this Thursday at noon on the quad
by Coalition against Coke Contracts. I reminded folks of this rally at
yesterday's meeting.  AWARE has signed on as a member group of Coalition against
Coke Contracts. Please try and make it if you can (but be prepared to dress
warmly - it could be quite chilly on Thursday).

CACC is on the web at caccuc.blogspot.com - check it out.

: About Coalition Against Coke Contracts (CACC):
:
:
:
: CACC is a broad coalition of campus and community groups in Champaign-Urbana
: that has mobilized to demand that the University of Illinois end its
: contractual relationship with Coca-Cola and refrain from supporting
: Coca-Cola's practices of severe environmental abuse and human rights
: violations. Taking into consideration the malpractices of Coca-Cola, a
: number of campuses around the world have boycotted Coke.  Most recently
: DePaul University decided not to do business with Coca-Cola. For more
: information about the local campaign at University of Illinois, please visit
: [http://caccuc.blogspot.com/]. Coalition Against Coke Contracts has regular
: meetings every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month at 7 pm in 140A Education
: Building, which are open to the public.
