Julie is going to look into getting the editor of Alberta Views to speak. As well, they have offered to sell magazines at this event in a joint fundraising effort.

CANDIL is helping to organize the rally on March 19th. The march will begin at Tompkins park and will be a silent march with black flags and the names of Iraqi civilian casualties being read out. The march will end at Tompkins Park and we will have two speakers (Bill Phipps and Dijla Al-Rekabi).
