AWARE is the local Anti War Anti Racism Effort that coordinates various events and conducts the organization of this at the IMC on Sundays at 6:00 PM |
You've already seen a couple things that are happening as the new year gets going, and different projects need assistance. The anti-war movement is neither asleep nor discouraged. It does need your help!
MUTUAL AID PACT: Al Kagan is building a group in support of people who may be targeted by new anti-terrorism laws. He and others will be desinging a pledge card and asking as many people as possible to sign it. The pledge states that if someone is persecuted in the so-called "war on terror", the signer will assist them. It's an important initiative that strengthens AWARE's anti-racism and civil liberties efforts, and Al needs help making it happen. Please contact him if you can help out (akagan (at) uiuc.edu).
TALK ABOUT THE WAR: The speaker's bureau/Church Ladies Against War has a list of speakers ready to address your group, be it a church congregation (or just a social justice committee), a union, a book club, a class--you name the venue, a speaker will be there! Jeff Glassman (lfay (at) prairienet.org) laid the groundwork, so contact him if you want a speaker or if you know someone who does.
ANTI-RACISM CAUCUS: People interested in brainstorming ways to fight racism will begin meeting at the School for Designing a Society at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Jan. 10. Contact Mark Enslin for details (enslin (at) prairienet.org).
DIRECT ACTION: Demonstrate your opposition to carpet bombing civilians by joining Laddies and Ladies Against War, Saturdays at 12:30 at Prospect and I-74. As time passes, more drivers are reacting to the people standing with their signs. Police reassurance that we have a right to speak out is a weekly occurrence. Join the only glimmer of hope/opposition visible to many in our community. Catch a ride at 12:15 at the School for Designing a Society, University and Race, Urbana.
AWARE-TV: Kord Russel has taken the initiative to videotape and broadcast anti-war information on Urbana Public TV. Cable subscribers should switch their sets to Channel 6 on Thursday (1/10) at 8 p.m. AWARE-TV is a bi-weekly production. Call 344-7822 if you'd like to help.
