Tentative agenda for 9/1/02 meeting at 3:30

1.      Who is willing to share leadership responsibilities of events/direct
action?

2.     Planning a 9/11 event (eight days from today)

-what are the biggest events planned? where should we table?
-do we join the Rotary club march?
-do we need to create a flier for the event that sensitively addresses the 
9/11 attack and raises awareness of current dangers

3.    September 23 March against U.S. Invasion of Iraq (and kick off of regular
AAPJ vigil/billboard lines.) 

-we need to end the meeting with specific ideas for anti-invasion signs to 
give to Tom and Sherry so they would be ready for the 923 

-ideas for making additional signs with the $100 allocated

-what is the specific march route upon meeting at Mill and University at 5:00
p.m.

-do we need a permit for a rally?

-should there be speakers at a rally, and if so, who?

-what groups should be contracted to co-sponsor or help publicize the March

-who will do the press work

-review of Victor's anti-invasion flier

4.    Review of Proposed Vigil Schedule for Fall 2002

-what changes should be made in it (the schedule is below)
-where are all our signs?-do we need to make new signs for billboard lines?
-what can we do to make the vigil/billboard lines more effective than last 
year?
-how do we get regular participants?

5.    Tempe Butte anti-war sign

Victor reported that despite the new environmental protection changes, it looks
like that signs will be allowed on the Butte.   One idea is to contact
Fuat about sign building.  Is Fuat back.  Is there anyone else interested 
in spearheading the stop war type sign?.

6.    Community gathering location if, or when, U.S. invades Iraq

   How to get the following contingency plan out:  If the US invades Iraq 
before 6:00 p.m. Phoenix time, we will meet that day at 6:00 p.m at the corner
of Mill and University Avenue.  If the invasion commences after 6:00 p.m
Phoenix time, we will meet at 6:00 p.m. the next day at the corner of Mill
and University Avenue.  All peacekeepers are requested to show up at this
event. 

How do we get the word out
Should this be placed on every flier distributed by AAPJ?  

7.     September 21-22 Direct Action training

8.    October 7 Commencement of US Bombing in Afghanistan

  Has anyone contacted the events committee regarding showing the POV documentary
"Afghanistan Year 1380," a cassette in one of the ASU auditoriums on
October 7.

9.    Friday, November 22,

  No-violence day plans.
