Thanks for the excellent report, we appreciate it. One small correction: the name of our group is actually March 1st Solidarity, not March For Solidarity. We are named after a Korean movement launched on March 1st 1919 against Japanese colonialism because we want to stand in solidarity with that spirit of Korean resistance. In fact, we will be celebrating this historic event this Friday (the 29th), with music, discussion, and food on the HUB lawn. As you mentioned, our campaign will be continuing after March 1st with a push for divestment from military contractors and US military research. Thanks again for the coverage.

peace,
M1S
