[KWPeace-groups] Change of plans: Gaza-University action this Monday (not Tues), grief walk on Sat. & online meeting about peace & war

[Christina Mills]

Thanks, Tamara. Do you have a contact for Monday's rally organizers? I am
tied up until 3 pm and it takes almost half an hour to get there by
transit, so I'd like to find out how long they expect it to last.
Thanks and best,
Chris
