  An opportunity if anyone wants to plug in by helping to plan  
something re: Glenn Beck's upcoming speaking engagement in Greensboro.

----- Forwarded message from marshica.stanley AT gmail.com -----

Hi,

As you may know, Glenn Beck, the infamous right-wing Fox News  
commentator, has a speaking engagement in Greensboro, NC on April 8th,  
2011.  We would like to host a gathering of local Greensboro and  
statewide activists, friends and allies who oppose
what Glenn Beck stands for: racist, sexist, red-baiting “Tea Party”  
politics. Beck is known for his witch-hunt style shows where he  
“exposes” the radical left-wing connections among activist  
organizations in the US, in order to attempt to smear and discredit  
the important, progressive work they do in their communities.

  We want to hold an organizing meeting to figure out how NC  
activists would like to respond to Beck’s speaking engagement. The  
NC-based chapters of the International Socialist Organization (ISO),  
among others, would like to propose a peaceful protest/picket of his  
speaking event in Greensboro. We want to hear others’ ideas and  want  
this to be a democratically-organized event.

We have reserved a room in the Hemphill Branch Library in Greensboro,  
NC on Saturday, March 12 at 12pm. If you or a representative from  
Internationalist Books can make it to the organizing event, please  
email me at marshica.stanley AT gmail.com.

Address for the meeting:

Hemphill Branch
2301 W. Vandalia Rd.
Greensboro NC 27407

If you want to help organize a protest against Glenn Beck in April,  
but can’t attend the organizing meeting on the 12th, please be sure to  
let me know!

Thanks again!

Marshica
