[RAICES] Juarez die-in at Amherst Center

[Manuel Castro]

Friends,

Don't forget tomorrow, Saturday May 1st, is the Juarez Die-in!  The
demonstration is only as effective as the number of people that attend; so
thank you in advance for spending an hour tomorrow at 12:30-1:30 to show

participate in the die-in.  Please wear black!
