Subj: Fwd: [OrgNCNR] March 18 to March 21: Spring Rising an Antiwar InterventionJosieBest,Hi Karen!I don't see much discussion in response to your message about April 22 on the listserv. Here's another opportunity coming up very soon, coinciding with the Iraq War anniversary, which has more of the flavor that I see in recent nwopc posts from Terry and Jeff. I'm just bringing this stuff up to see if any of it resonates with your folks. I'm not trying to push anything, but am just wanting to spread word of these opportunities that might stir up some energy! The Earth Day organizers are hoping to come at the war subject from another angle to engage new people (or re-energize past activists). Don't you feel like that frog in the pan of water that is gradually heated until he is cooked?!!
