AWARE is a member of the Coalition against Coke Contracts ( Have a look at
http://caccuc.blogspot.com ) and they are appealing for turnout at today's noon
rally on the quad (Illini Union south patio).

The University is mulling over whether to renew that contract (it ends next
year), so we need to start turning up the heat with prominent well-attended
demonstrations.

Weather might be a little sprinkly, but probably just overcast - no downpours or
anything.

Featured Speaker: Amit Srivastava, India Resource Center.

Hope to see you there...

CACC is a broad coalition of campus and community groups in
Champaign-Urbana that has mobilized to demand that the University end its
contract with Coca-Cola since the company has repeatedly violated labor
rights in Colombia, Turkey and Indonesia and is responsible for severe
environmental abuse in India. For more information, visit us at
