Rally Tomorrow

Tomorrow (March 20th) if you have time, come by the Strike Office (255 King St. N. Unit 6, right by Get Stuffed), at 11. We, the students, will walk through the campus and gather as much student support as possible. Then, we'll go to St. Michael's parking lot by 12:00 and till 2:00 there will be a rally from all sorts of supporters, both part-time faculty, full-time faculty, staff, students, and supporters from other universities.

Come out and support, they need our help!

First of all, thank you to ALL the CAS supporters today. I was really touched to see so many students at the rally AND over the last two days on the line. I've been given coffee, donuts and even a brownie. Students: YOUR support means so much to us. By stopping and just asking how we are, you give us comfort and give us back our voice.

If you can help, please do. Here are some ideas I dug up:

Organize demonstrations and rallies .

Attend strike support rallies and demonstrations.

Stay informed.

Make donations to the strikers. Being on strike is costly.

Join the picket lines. Picketers love support.

Make donations in kind to the picket line. Coffee, donuts, food, and whatever else is needed and requested.

Take a picketer out to lunch.

Call your MPP or city councillor. Tell them that you support the strikers.

Write a letter to the editor.

Phone a call-in radio show.

Honk your horn when you drive by a picket line.

Establish a food bank.

Organize an end-of-week social for the picketers.

Offer to babysit (we have kids, we're NOT just POKER CHIPS, Dr. Horton!)

Hug a picketer!

Thanks again,
Steve Connor
