[UFPJ] special media training for 3rd anniversary events



Monday, March 13th - one-hour phone training on the basics of PR (public
relations) and media work!

Your group is invited to participate in this special training that's geared
to helping UFPJ member groups publicize your antiwar activities around the
3rd anniversary of the U.S. war on Iraq. All you have to do is designate
someone from your group to call in for this one-hour session.

The training will be lead by Andrea Buffa, the Communications Director at
Global Exchange. Andrea was one of the founding co-chairs of United for
Peace and Justice and served on the steering committee of the coalition.
She has extensive media experience and understand the needs of grassroots
organizers.

The phone training will take place this coming Monday, March 13th at 7 pm
east coast time (6 pm central time, 5 pm mountain time and 4 pm pacific
time).

Please let us know if someone from your group will be on the call. When we
hear from you we will give you the phone number to call in on. It is
important that we know in advance how many people are planning to
participate, so please send us an email as soon as possible:

By the way, if your group has not yet planned anything around the 3rd
