>   YAP-CU (Youth Awareness Project CU) is hosting a
>   Die-In to protest the Iraq war. Our plan is to get
>   at least 40 people to the intersection of Green &
>   Wright St. to protest with signs and chants, but it
>   will be different from most protests: When the light
>   turns green for pedestrians to cross the crosswalks
>   (all four crossing places that surround the
>   intersection turn at the same time- that is why we
>   chose this place) then we will go out into the
>   middle of the intersection while the cars are
>   waiting at red lights (so they can't go anywhere
>   anyway) and we simultaneously fall to the ground,
>   pretending to die.
>
>   Die-Ins have been used as an effective form of
>   protest before- there was one on this campus earlier
>   last year to bring awareness to the genocide in
>   Darfur. The purpose of this form of protest is to
>   MAKE people pay attention. It isn't going to disturb
>   traffic or block things from happening so it isn't
>   super drastic but it is a protest that can not be
>   ignored by those driving by.
>   When: Saturday, April 12th, from 1-3 PM.
>
>   Where: Intersection of Green and Wright by the Alma
>   Mater.
>
>   Wear: Red clothing. Note: It will be brisk!
