Subject: Save May 1-3, 2009 for the "A3M Reunion"


Spring 2009 is the 40th Anniversary of the April Third Movement (A3M), one of the high points of the student Movement at Stanford University.

Please save the dates of Friday, May 1- Sunday, May 3 2009 for a reunion marking that date. This will be an opportunity to remember the old days, discuss current campaigns and struggles, rekindle old flames, and appreciate the statute of limitations. We will be meeting on the Stanford campus.

Though once again we use A3M as the time to mark the reunion, we also invite activists (students, faculty, staff, and outside agitators) who were at Stanford earlier and later, people who were active in the local community and nearby campuses, and people who were active in similar movements elsewhere at the time. We will also be inviting current members of the Stanford community.

Please forward this announcement to others who may be interested, and if you receive this indirectly, please send me your e-mail address. We will make additional announcements as we plan the reunion week-end.

We will not be circulating anyone's e-mail address without permission. If you wish to be listed in the public list of potential participants, please send me <lsiegel@cpeo.org> your name, any aliases, and preferred e-mail address.
