[Peace] anti-war demonstration, Sat. 4/2, 2-4, Main & Neil!

[Stuart Levy]

Hello all,

Our wars are still grinding on, including our latest "intervention" in Libya,
which Michael O'Hanlon (remember him, the Brookings Institution promoter
of the 2003 invasion of Iraq?) expects will last not weeks nor months, but years.

If you'd like to demonstrate against them, please join us.
AWARE will be at our usual site at the usual first-Saturday time:

   Main and Neil, downtown Champaign (near Jim Gould, Ko Fusion, M2 etc.)

   2:00 - 4:00 PM, *tomorrow*, Saturday, April 2nd

We'll have signs, or bring your own, or just come stand with us for a while.


   Stuart

7PM Thu 4/7  "Revolutions in 2011: Democracies in the Arab World"
    Thursday, April 7, 7 PM
    Gregory Hall R. 223
    810 S. Wright Street (southwest corner of UIUC's main quad)

    Popular revolutions and movements for democratic change have been sweeping
    the Arab world, overthrowing despised U.S.- backed dictators in Tunisia and
    Egypt, challenging the Ghaddafi regime in Libya and the Bashar Al-Assad regime
    in Syria, and spreading to gulf states like Bahrain and Yemen. While each of
    these situations presents different challenges, they all have drawn inspiration
    from each other and deserve our solidarity. Come hear from a panel of
    professors, students, and activists who will be discussing what is at stake in
    countries throughout the region. Then join us in a discussion about what this
    means for those of us who want to get involved in supporting movements for
    liberation.

    Panelists include:

    *Farhad Malekafzali, Professor of Political Science

    *Abdelaadim Bidaoui, Graduate student in Linguistics

    *Mostafa Omar--Egyptian-American socialist and reporter on the Egyptian revolution, calling in via skype.

    *Vukoni Lupa-Lusaga--Solidarity with Democratic Movements

    Sponsored by Solidarity with Democratic Movements. For more information, email julienball at hotmail.com
