Reports, Updates, Comments
At noon we met in front of Kinder's cafe in Benicia (1st & D St.). When people approached, we offered them a black ribbon to wear, and a flier with congressional call numbers and a sample letter. Most people were very positive and happy to take them. We told them it was national IM Day with many actions across the country (none had heard of it; we told them to go to IM website). We asked them to wear the black ribbon on every third Friday of the month and call or write Congress. We also offered them extra ribbons and fliers to take to friends or coworkers, and some people took several extra with them.
We plan to repeat this action for Iraq Moratorium # 5 (3rd Friday, Jan. 18, at Noon) Same location in Benicia, corner of First and D St. (in front of Kinder's, 333 First St.) 12:00-12:30 pm.
