Hello all,

I wanted to let you know of a Worker's Rights rally being planned for 
Champaign at Westside Park on Monday, April 18th, at noon.
The Champaign Tea Party is planning their "tax day rally" at that 
time and location as well. Last year we counter-picketed the Tea Party 
rally, and were able to divert media attention away from their 
anti-worker message. Here's one example: http://www.dailyillini.com/news/champaign-urbana/2010/04/15/nonpartisan-group-attempts-to-spread-its-conservative-message-at-ra


This year the stakes are of course higher. Between 
the attacks on collective bargaining rights across the nation, SEIU gearing up to strike the UIUC campus, and the Tea Party's advocacy for defunding Planned Parenthood and other essential community services, we are trying to rally local 
support as much as possible. One aspect of that is, to our mind, not 
allowing anti-worker/anti-woman forces such as the Tea Party to control the media 
cycle, or to let their message pass without response. 
If you know of any listservs or individuals that may be interested, please forward along.

Please let me know if you have any questions,comments or concerns,
