[KWPeace-groups] Int Day No War Against Iran Jan 25 / Will KW Peace be local lead organizer?

[Cathy Scott]

Hi, Tamara
Thanks for organizing this rally.  Jan. 25 at 2 is fine with me or most any
other time is ok too.
I will be there.
I represent FairVote in the KWPeace group, but I don't know whether there
is a spokesperson who can speak for the group
