[Oe List ...] GMCA May 17-18

[Terry Bergdall]

David, we look forward to hosting you and up to 80 marchers, if they wish,
at the ICA GreenRise Building when you pass through Chicago. It is also our
plan to organize local marchers to join you at the city limits and escort
you across the city. This is important work. Thank you for taking the lead.
