CEW
PLANS
The
University of Missouri - Kansas City, Missouri
The PTFA of the University of Missouri - Kansas City is planning
to hold a rally on Mon, Oct 29 & Tue, Oct 30, 2001. Besides
handing out fliers to students and faculty on campus, we will have
readings at the microphone, music, and speeches that express the
concerns of the PTFA.
We are concerned about two things:
1)
In this time of war, terrorism, anthrax, etc., will the "week
of action" receive the coverage it deserves? Have the Regional,
Central, and Steering Committees discussed this, and to what end
result?;
2)
Will the CEW Steering Committee be encouraging news coverage by
fax, telephone contact, e-mail in our area? In other
words, how is this USA-Canada event to be known on a national basis?
We are contacting news media about the event, so any contact made
from outside of Kansas City would help to link our regional efforts
with a nationwide movement.
Contact - Amy Zeh, (816) 361-5523, abz87a@umkc.edu
CEW
Central Coordinator Response - CEW Is a Coalition of many organizations
at the US and Canadian National levels, at the state and provincial
levels, at regional levels, and at local campus levels. The Central
Steering Committee is using the resources of the major organizations
for press/media outreach, but the power of CEW will also develop
out of the outreach at other levels. I encourage all connected to
CEW to use your contacts and ingenuity to spread the word as widly
as possible from your local community newsletters and newspapers
to public access radio and TV, to the national press.
In
Solidarity,
Chris
