Action Brainstorms (Post-Walk Out)

• Networking with other college campuses to build a coalition was discussed at length. Lots of people in the group have good contacts at other Colorado campuses. The action item for the group for this week was to network and contact people they know at other campuses and get the word about any similar groups. From there we will determine how to build a coalition with these folks and what to do now that we've coalated.
• Tim suggested a visible and symbolic peace protest, such as a laydown protest or using the little flags on the quad to symbolize the dead. He's going to contact Hillel and find out more information and present it to the group to get something started.
• Rochelle suggested doing something to help Afghan women. She's going to do some research and get back to the group.
