Hi All, We forgot last night that next week is International Women's Day and we had agreed to endorse this panel and send a speaker. (Christina??) The panel is On women and student activism and will feature speakers from different groups on campus talking about what they are doing to be active and fight for social change in the community and in the world. The theme for the day is women, action, peace. Check out the website at www.uvm.edu/~iwd For those of you who don't know International Women's Day is an internationally recognised holiday celebrated in almost every other country apart from the US so this day of events is to let everyone know that we have something to celebrate also. It is also so relevant for our particular struggle since we are trying to combat Bush's continued war on women and we need to be vocal about it. When they are loud, we need to be even louder and people will be attracted to our seriousness. THe panel will be held in Lafayette 207 at 7pm on MOnday 8th March. This will be a great opportunity to build the co-ailition, get our name out on campus and GET PEOPLE ON THE BUS. I think that we should defnitiely be involved, we should definitely table and give everyone a flier for our meeeting after Spring Break. We should meet before this panel though so that we can plan out our campaign for the second half of the semester. I suggest that we meet at 6pm in one of the other classrooms in Lafayette so that we can have a planning meeting and give ourselves lots of time to set up a table at the panel. What do people think about this? Thoughts about times, places, support of the event etc. Charlotte
