IM#2, Oct. 19
In Benicia, CA (SF Bay Area) a group of us again stood at a downtown street intersection (1st & D st., all 4 corners) for 30 minutes in front of cafes at lunch hour; we wore black armbands or black ribbons, and held IM signs. When people walked by we offered them a flyer with congressional call numbers, a sample letter, and a black ribbon attached with a safety pin. Most people were positive. Told them it was national IM Day (none had heard of it, told them to go to IM website). Asked them to wear the black ribbon and call or write Congress on 3rd Friday for most impact. Some said they would. Asked them to tell others, and repeat on Fri., Nov.16. After the vigil, some used cell phones to call Congress.
