*Here is a breakdown of the protest being headed by the Campus Greens

11:00 am -- Setup at north end of Quad (Anniversary Plaza)
11:15 am -- Students not currently in class assembling at Anniversary Plaza
11:20 am -- A "Walk Out" is planned for all students who have class at the time and want to participate. Walking out of class to join the protest at this time is to be a sign of solidarity.
11:30 am - 12 noon -- A protest march is planned to go through part of Green Street and around the Quad, then meeting back up at the north end of the Quad for the rally.
12 noon - 12:50pm -- Rally with speakers from all groups willing to volunteer a speaker, with chanting and general rally activities in between.
12:50pm - 1:00pm -- "Die In" much like the one last fall organized by CAN, where people participating in the event fall to the ground representing lives lost during the war.
