[mobglob-discuss] VACOUVER STUDENTS CHAINED TO US CONSULATE

[Bella]

It would be nice if the MobGlob listserve moderator would release posts in
a more timely fashion. This email landed at 11:59am on April 1, hours
after the action began and now its too late to support the students during
their action !!  (sorry if Mac is the moderator, understandable in that
case).

Peace,
Bella
