>  Hey FredPAC:
>
>  My name is Jonathan Williams. I'm a student at the University of 
> Maryland, Baltimore County and a part of an activist group on campus. 
> I'm from Baltimore and a friend-of-a-friend of Gary Staples, who 
> recommended that I get in touch with you all to network with fellow 
> peace activists.
>
>  I'm e-mailing you regarding an upcoming action we're hosting at UMBC 
> to protest the illegal war in Iraq. We're planning a five-day fast and 
> "sit-in" from April 30th - May 4th. Several students will be camping 
> out in front of our University Center and fasting from food for the 
> entire week without leaving the area (except to use the bathroom). 
> Each day of the fast represents 100,000 Iraqi civilians killed from 
> the illegal U.S. occupation. We'll also be hosting a different event 
> each day of the week, most of which will likely be speakers such as 
> Iraq veterans, military families, etc. Through our contacts with a 
> statewide coalition of Maryland peace groups, we anticipate a great 
> deal of media coverage for the event.
>
>  However, in order to make it the most effective action possible, we 
> need as many schools in Maryland to join us in hosting their own fast 
> (or other anti-war action) that week. Would any of you, or people you 
> know, be interested in helping to organize something at schools in 
> Frederick? It need not be a fast - any event will do. We're looking to 
> make a simultaneous demonstration across the state out of this. We'd 
> love to work together with you. We can help you get things started and 
> we have plenty of resources across the state with whom we can connect 
> you.
>
>  Feel free to call me ( 443.474.8919) or e-mail me 
> (jonnycompliance at gmail.com) if you're at all interested. Thanks! I 
> look forward to hearing from you.
