That flier looks great, Rachel! There's a few things you might want to
consider:
Re: name of the march, we had tossed out a few ideas and it seems that one
that has been picking up steam is "Meet the 99%" or something to this
effect.
The date is not 100% solidified yet, I believe we are meeting on sunday at
8 at gandhi (and probably moving somewhere indoors) to discuss that and
other logistical issues that Ravi outlined.
Also, Colin: the content for that flier you made is awesome; simple,
clearcut, to the point! I love it! If you have any ideas about prison
reform please don't hesitate to put something together!
You guys rock!
