[Januaryfirst] Mainlander radio tomorrow.

[aaron spires]

Hey everyone.

Nate Crompton just asked if I would like to speak on the radio tomorrow at
1pm re: the event today and the 20th anniversary. As I was not able to
attend the march, and am working tomorrow, I was hoping that someone here
would he able to do it.

If you can, please get a hold of Nate at crompton.n at gmail.com

Cheers,

Aaron

Hey folks.

Happy new year from Vancouver Island!

Just wanted to say thank you all for your work leading up to today's event.
I hope that it goes off wonderfully, and that it provides a jumping off
point for future organizing.
