[Peace] Saturday Feb 26, 12:30 PM Anti-War Coalition Meeting

[Jesse Phillippe]

>
> Several local groups have decided to organize a coalition of anti-war and
>> progressive  groups and people, in an effort to increase the level of
>> anti-war activism, to consolidate our forces, and to increase communication
>> along the way.  With the CAN National Conference coming to the U of I
>> campus, a lot of local anti-war activists are very busy.  So we could use
>> all the help we can get!  *And the point of consolidating our forces
>> (getting all the help we can get) is to do what every anti-war group should
>> do when approaching the anniversary of an unjust war, namely PROTEST IT!!
>> *
>>
>> So, this week *we are having the meeting Saturday at 12:30 PM in the
>> Courtyard Cafe of the Union (no more time changes after this)*.  I
>> apologize to those for whom, this time doesn't work (I will keep you updated
>> on our progress one way or the other).

> Last week *we decided to hold the protest on Thursday, March 18 at 5 PM,
> We would start with a rally at the Alma Mater (northwest of the Union) and
> continue with a demonstration at the corner of Wright and Green Streets.*
> The rally would start at 5pm, when people are getting off work.  Perhaps a
> die-in would be optional, depending on the weather (and road conditions) and
> how willing people are to lie down on the cold ground in the middle of the
> intersection for 30 seconds at a time (don't worry. All four lights are red
> during these 30 seconds.  So no one would be putting themselves in danger).
