[Peace] [Peace-discuss] AWARE monthly demonstrations

[James M]

A press release is a good idea. I was also going to write a Letter To The
Editor for the NG to try and recruit some support.

I also spoke with Stuart yesterday, and I think I want to try and wrangle
up & recruit some of the local activists I know to join us. As part of
that, I am currently looking into possibly scheduling a Sign Making Party
before the next demonstration.

Karen, I really appreciate all the effort you've put into the local
anti-war scene. What were some of the bigger challenges you faced with
getting folks to participate? Did they come to one demonstration but not
others? Or was it difficult to get them to even join one?

It's frustrating that there are so many "progressives" in this town, but so
little support for these anti-war demonstrations. But I'd still like to try
and help shift things.


James.
