PABN is a newly formed progressive activist network for Bloomington-Normal and the immediate surrounding areas.
PABN will eventually offer an online events calender, websites and contact information for local progressive activist groups, links, and fliers and petitions. |
If you would like to receive the weekly PABN calender, please let me know and I will add your email to the regular distribution list. I appreciate your help in distributing this information. The current calender mostly lists Illinois State University events, but we\'d like to include events all over Bloomington-Normal and the surrounding areas. If you know of upcoming local progressive events, or others who would like to receive this calender, please email me.
Best regards, Adam <adjameson (at) yahoo.com>
