Bob/SFPJ Colleagues,
This date overlaps with the annual WWHEL (Wisconsin Women in Higher
Education Leadership) conference in Madison, so I will not be able to
participate as I have in many past events. I hope others from SFPJ will be
able to rally and to speak.
In Solidarity,
Kate Hale

Conversation: March and Rally for Peace and Justice Thursday October 26,
2006
Subject: March and Rally for Peace and Justice Thursday October 26, 2006
Greetings, All, Friends and Colleagues, SFPJ:
At our planning meeting a little while ago for this upcoming event we
discussed the need for members of all progressive groups committed to peace
and justice on campus and in the community to designate and send
representatives to speak, or perform, on the 26th. We discussed the fact
that it would be especially helpful to have faculty and staff people, who
are used to public speaking--and performing--do so. We would like speakers
(or performers) from sfpj to step up for each of the following issues:
1. The Wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the Bush Administration's
Militarist-Imperialist Stance and Practice in General
2. Universal, Affordable Health Care for All
3. Civil marital equality
4. Rejection of capital punishment
None of this has to be very long--no more than five minutes maximum. Please
let me know if you are able and willing to speak to one of these issues (or
perform something). And please do give it serious consideration.
Also please try to make this a large turn-out of faculty and staff, if at
all possible. Last time around, on the 5th, for the World Can't Wait march
and rally, many students and community members in attendance asked me where
were all the progressive faculty (and staff). Let's show people that we
are committed and engaged on these issues.
Thank you.
In solidarity,
Bob Nowlan
