[Indigsol] Stop Racism towards Aboriginals in Australia

[Dan (OPIRG-Carleton)]

Hey all,

We can distro things through the Wednesday Weekly.  And I'll get the
annoucement up on the PIRG site and circulating on activisty lists in
Ottawa.

I'll definitly come out for a rally, though my time for helping to
organize it over the next two days is very limited.

D.
