[Peace] AWARE at Farmer's Market - and SJP UIUC #SaltwaterChallenge - and Black Students for Revolution UIUC's demands

[Carl G. Estabrook]

Stuart—

If the AWARE table will include copies of the Black Students for Revolution's demands, I’d like also to distribute flyers containing the comments of Adolph Reed and Walter Benn Michaels on identity politics. (Both statements have recently been posted to the AWARE fb page.)

As you know, I think AWARE should concentrate on anti-war work, especially at this time when war politics have been so propagandized by the last administration and this one. We should be trying to cut through the fog, not increasing it with IP.  

Regards, Carl

Theirs is a risky effort which merits our awareness and support.
