The Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort has been organizing resistance to the so-called "wars on terror" since fall of 2001, and we've had a float in the local 4th of July parade every year since then. (We even won 3rd place one year.) This year is no exception - and never has it been more important to have YOUR participation. Read on... |
*** AN "OUT NOW" CELEBRATION ***
(Troops out, Bush out - out, out, out!)
Tuesday is the Fourth of July.
Around here it's called a "Freedom Celebration."
The flags will all be out along the parade route - red, white and blue -
Lincoln Ave around Oregon in Urbana south to Florida and along Florida/Kirby into Champaign.
And, once again, the folks at the
Anti-War Anti-Racism Effort (AWARE) -- which means YOU -- are showing OUR flag(s).
(We always get lots of cheers and some jeers.)
The focus is spreading the GOOD NEWS to voters about this November's advisory referenda:
one to PULL THE TROOPS OUT NOW,
one to IMPEACH the war-monger Bush!
*** WE NEED BODIES ***
TO SHOW THAT THESE INITIATIVES HAVE SUPPORT!!!
(We also need water, ice and a few others things - if you can help, call 328-3037.)
AWARE is #42 this year,
assigned to a spot along the route around Busey or Oregon.
Look for a big anti-war sign on the back of a haywagon.
Bring your own sign or borrow one of ours.
Dress for street heat.
Bikes, dogs and kids welcome. |
