[Peace] 12/1 Sat 2-4 anti-war demonstration; 12/3 Mon 6:30pm "Hell and Back Again", 6pm activist training

[Stuart Levy]

Tomorrow, December 1st, is the first Saturday of the month.

Please come stand with AWARE, *2-4PM Saturday*, at the usual site - 
*Main and Neil* in downtown Champaign - to demonstrate against the wars 
we are making and those we're supporting.

We'll be passing out Carl's flyer --
*Why is the U.S. Government Supporting Israel's Oppression of the 
Palestinians?*

Also, at least two good events on Monday (possibly three, depending on 
whether Occupy's 7pm Monday meeting gets moved):

*12/3 Monday, 6:00 PM*   Champaign Library, Robeson room "A"
*Activist training* - sponsored by Food & Water Watch, but it sounds 
widely applicable:

>     *Do you want to improve social, environmental, or political
>     problems but not know how to start? *Or know how to start, but get
>     stuck trying to build a group, accomplish goals, or recruiting
>     volunteers? Whether you're new to activism or experienced, come to
>     our*Activist Training Workshop, <http://tinyurl.com/d84p7r9>
>     *sponsored by Food & Water Watch. *You'll learn and practice
>     critical campaign skills*, including: setting goals, strategies,
>     and tactics; campaign recruitment and building a group; and
>     training volunteers. And we'll have a fun social afterward in
>     downtown Champaign!

*12/3 Monday  6:30-8:30PM*   Channing-Murray Foundation - Social Justice 
Film Series

         Film about the life of a returning Afghanistan veteran, 
followed by talk-back with Champaign County Iraq Veterans Against the 
War, and Civilian Soldier Alliance

>     Hell and Back Again transitions from stunning war reportage to an
>     intimate, visceral portrait of one man's personal struggle at home
>     in North Carolina, where Harris confronts the physical and
>     emotional difficulties of re-adjusting to civilian life with the
>     love and support of his wife, Ashley. Masterfully contrasting the
>     intensity of the frontline with the unsettling normalcy of home,
>     Hell and Back Again lays bare the true cost of war.
>     Co-sponsored by Social Action Committee of UU Church, Friends
>     Meeting, University YMCA, Wesley United Methodist Church and
>     Foundation
