AWARE Meeting, 5-6pm, Sunday, June 10, 2018
===================================
Hammerhead Coffee, University & Wright, Champaign

A sparsely-attended regular meeting of the 'Anti-War, Anti-Racism Effort of Champaign-Urbana' considered the various outlets for the publication of anti-war concerns in C-U this summer:

PRESS
~ ‘The Champaign-Urbana News-Gazette’ - under new editors - runs letters (250 words), occasional guest columns (700 words), and ‘Sunday Extras’ (500 words) on war topics. Despite its frequently objectionable editorials, the N-G maintains a letters column where differing political opinions are juxtaposed.
~ ’Smile Politely’ runs articles, blog posts, and often comments of interest to the anti-war movement. A ’News from Neptune’ column - from the UPTV show - appears occasionally.
~ ‘The Daily Illini’ publishes letters from AWAREists with a UIUC connection.

INTERNET
~ There is a Facebook page ‘AWARE of Champaign Urbana Illinois’ at .
~ AWARE also has two email lists, 'peace-discuss'  and ' and 'peace' .
~ ‘CounterPunch’ is a leading political website, publishing a number of articles each day, and a magazine, published six times per year. The editor-in-chief is a FOA (Friend of AWARE) and publishes material from AWAREists - including Doctor Know (J. B. Nicholson), research director for 'AWARE on the Air.'

DEMONSTRATIONS
~ AWARE’s regular demonstrations, 2-4pm on the first Saturday of the month, go back 15 years - a tradition once called ‘The Main Event’ (from its location at Main & Neil Streets in downtown Champaign).
~ The Urbana Farmers’ Market hosts an AWARE table with anti-war flyers, books, buttons and bumper stickers on various Saturdays through the summer. 
~ AWARE has participated in demonstrations sponsored by other groups, notably the Fourth of July parade, for which AWARE in the past has prepared notable floats (when we were younger...)    

TELEVISION 
~ ‘AWARE on the Air’ is a weekly hour of anti-war discussion, recorded at noon on Tuesdays at the studios of Urbana Public Television. It’s cable-cast on UPTV, but it seems to find most of its viewers on YouTube.

RADIO
~ The audio of ‘AWARE on the Air’ is carried by WRFU-LP (104.5 FM, ‘Radio Free Urbana’), which also features other programs of interest to AWAREists and their audience, notably ‘The History Hour,’ ’The Illinois World Labor Hour,’ and ‘News from Neptune.’

OTHER LOCAL POLITICAL GROUPS
~ AWARE joins other anti-war/anti-racism groups in C-U for particular demonstrations. Upcoming is an ‘ICE Out of CU!’ rally at Drury Inn Hotel in Champaign, on Saturday 23 June at 11 am.
