Dear USASers,
I know many of you are about to be out of the semester
and are planning for summer. But, I'm wondering if
it's a good idea for as many of us as possible to go
to Florida State University perhaps in late May or
early June to have a big rally (and other non-violent
direct actions) in support of the USASers there.
It seems that there needs some kind of a catalystic
event in order to move this situation forward,
assuming that they've already done as much as they can
(the president talking to WRC staff, getting local
community's support, etc.).
This of course needs a request from FSU USASers.
What do we think?
Thanks,
Taka
