[IndianaGreen]

The following is from an e-mail alert. This is a heads up on upcoming activities in Indy:

All local activists should be aware that "Camp Casey -- Indy" will open the flaps to it's tent on the morning of September 5 when the Cindy Sheehan Bus arrives from Crawford, TX, and will be staffed everyday through the September action days in Washington, DC: September 23 - 26. Details including location to follow over the next couple of days.

2. I hear they need housing...

Visit Michael Moore's web site to volunteer to house the campers who need a place to stay overnight!

3. Update: Solid plans for Cindy's bus visit

From e-mail alert:

Hi folks:

I think we now have solid plans for Cindy's bus visit (though which Indiana city
will have a side visit on Tuesday morning is still not clear). Feedback
welcome. I will send the Peace/Justice Feature soon

The Bring Them Home Now bus tour will arrive in Indianapolis around 3 pm on Mon.
Sept. 5 (Labor Day). There will be 7-9 people on the bus, including several
whose sons have been killed in Iraq; word is that Cindy Sheehan herself will be
on the bus that takes the southern route from Crawford TX to Washington DC. A
few of us will meet the bus riders when they arrive. Then we will have a
Meet-The-Bus rally at 4 pm outside North Meadow Circle of Friends, 1710 N.
Talbott (Talbott is between Pennsylvania and Delaware) and hear from the bus
riders and a few others. Following that, we will have a pitch-in dinner at
North Meadow.

On Tuesday morning, it is likely that the bus tour will go to Bloomington (or to
West Lafayette instead). In the afternoon at 3 pm, we will hold a press
conference at North Meadow Circle of Friends, 1710 N. Talbott enabling the bus
riders to be interviewed. On Tuesday evening at 7 pm, we will have a rally to
open our own Camp Casey surrounded by 51 crosses for Indiana servicepeople
killed in the war on Iraq. The camp is located on the triangle plot on Fall
Creek Blvd. northeast of Broadway United Methodist Church on 29th St. Camp
Casey will promote bringing the war to an end and will be in operation until the
big rally in Washington DC on Sept. 24 (we will have our own interfaith service
in the late afternoon on Sun. Sept. 25).

We will try to meet with Senators Lugar and Bayh on Wed. morning. The bus will
leave again on Wed. at noon. We will have a send-off rally at 11 am in front of
Monument Circle before the bus departs.
