[Peace] [OccupyCU] Champaign County Board meeting on Jail - Tuesday, March 13 @ 6 p.m.

[Michael Weissman]

Hey  Ian- Good question. As I understand it, we'd actually voted to make
these FNG actions a priority. They're advertised on our leaflets, and we've
been invited to have a speaker. So I think it counts as a genuine OCU
event. With regard to the County Board, it's fortunate that the timing
works out so people can, barely, do both.
