* It would be great if Doug could help UFPJ and ANSWER mobilize activists for the October 25 demonstration to end the occupation of Iraq by:
** featuring information about October 25 on the homepage of _Left Business Observer_ at <http://www.panix.com/~dhenwood/LBO_home.html>; & ** interviewing UFPJ and ANSWER organizers about organizing against the occupation of Iraq on Doug's radio show on WBAI (Cf. <http://www.leftbusinessobserver.com/Radio.html>).
Among UFPJ staffers and steering committee members, I recommend Hany Khalil <hanykhalil at igc.org>, UFPJ's Iraq program coordinator, as a guest on the program (I'm cc'ing this posting to Hany -- contact Doug and promote O25 and other UFPJ Iraq actions & campaigns).
* It would be wonderful if Liza could interview UFPJ and ANSWER organizers about October 25, etc. for an article in _The Nation_ (the last _Nation_ article by Liza Featherstone <lfeather32 at erols.com> about anti-war activism came out in the August 4, 2003 issue <http://www.thenation.com/directory/bios/bio.mhtml?id=45> -- it's time for a new article about peace & justice organizing in _The Nation_).
* I'd love to hear C.S. Soong & Sasha Lilley <sashalilley at YAHOO.COM> interview UFPJ and ANSWER organizers for _Living Room Radio_ and have them discuss organizing against the occupation of Iraq on KPFA <http://www.livingroomradio.org/>.
* There should be articles by Seth Sandronsky <ssandron at hotmail.com> about October 25 in _Because People Matter_ (Sacramento), at Common Dreams <http://www.commondreams.org/>, etc.
* There ought to be articles about mobilizing activists for October 25 in _CounterPunch_, _Z Magazine_, etc.
* Carl Estabrook should promote October 25 on his radio show on WEFT <http://www.weftfm.org/shows/Pubaff.html>, etc.
* Could John Mage have info about the October 25 demonstration placed on the _Monthly Review_ website <http://www.monthlyreview.org/>?
* Could Jim Cullen <jcullen at austin.rr.com> publish an article about organizing against the occupation of Iraq in _The Progressive Populist_ and include info about October 25 in the _Progressive Populist_ website <http://www.populist.com/>?
* Could Steve Perry <sperry at citypages.com> publish an article about organizing against the occupation of Iraq in _City Pages_ (Twin Cities) and include info about October 25 at Cursor <http://www.cursor.org/>?
* Is it possible for Jeet Heer <jeet at sturdynet.com> to write up articles about organizing against the occupation of Iraq for the _Boston Globe_, the _National Post_ (Toronto), etc.?
* I await entries by Max Sawicky <sawicky at bellatlantic.net> about October 25 at <http://www.maxspeak.org/> & <http://www.nowarblog.org/>. -- Yoshie
