I wanted to share with you that I just registered for a place in the MLK march downtown at 10AM on the January 20 as a Community Coalition for Justice for Palestine and I am going to notify all the groups I am aware of about it. In answer to how many would be marching, I said 50, but hope for more, so broadcast widely. They request 2 or 3 volunteers, so if anyone is interested, let me know. I encourage signs and a 1/4 or 1/2 page informational handout to raise awareness, educate, build activism as well as signs and banners. I will be the point person on this and keep all informed.   If anyone has ideas for a better name, I’m sure I can change it so let me know!!

In solidarity and with determination,

Sheila
