[Peace] Welcome to VFP!

[C. G. Estabrook via Peace]

I'm a member of a local anti-war group in Champaign-Urbana (IL), called AWARE - an acronym for 'Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort.'  

The group was formed just after the 9-11 attacks, by members of the University of Illinois and local residents; in recent years the latter have predominated. 


One of our activities is a weekly cable TV program, 'AWARE on the Air,' via Urbana Public TV. Here's a recent example:

Our web-site has not been updated, but there's a fb page at 

<https://www.facebook.com/groups/305897426305/>

and active listservs at

<https://lists.chambana.net/mailman/listinfo/peace-discuss> and

<https://lists.chambana.net/mailman/listinfo/peace>.


We have of course admired what Veterans for Peace has done over the years - and continues to do in these dark days of US war-making.


Regards, 

Carl Estabrook

As you may know, our national office is in St. Louis, MO.  We don't currently have a local chapter in Champaign, although we do have a chapter in Chicago (I know,  little bit of a drive!)
