Subject: Teach-In/Feb. 9th Meeting Date: Wed, 2 Feb 2005 17:20:43 -0600 Message-ID: <B14120EE5C432443B21102F7925DAD020235F21E@COKE.uwec.edu> From: "Hale, C. Kate" <HALECL@uwec.edu>
Hello SFPJ Listserve members,
I'm sending out a more formal note about the March teach-in and the
planning we are going to do next Wednesday. Please come if you can, and
also please forward this (edit if you like) to any groups or individuals
you think would be supportive.
***************
March 19th will mark the second anniversary of the Iraq invasion. There
are protests planned around the country (and I imagine around the world)
for that day. Normally (if that word applies in the context) there
would be some protest or other event here on campus. The 19th,however,
is the Saturday before the week of spring break for UWEC (and for the
ECASD). So some campus groups want to organize a teach-in to be held
the week leading up to the 19th--perhaps even with some events the
weekend before the 19th.
I'm writing to invite you to a planning session: one week from today
(Wednesday February 9th) a meeting will be held in Davies Center (the
Alumni Room, specifically) from 7-9 p.m. The campus group Staff and
Faculty for Peace & Justice, together with the Progressive Student
Association, is hoping to engage members from many different
peace/justice groups in the Eau Claire area to participate.
We would welcome any of you to come add your voice to the discussion?if
you can?t stay for the whole meeting, then come for whatever part of it
you can manage. If you can?t come to the meeting on the 9th but want to
be included in future planning, then let me know.
I?ll be sending this out to other groups that I know of, but please feel
free to forward to others.
In Solidarity,
Kate
