Dear Boston InfoTent:

Many thanks to you for compiling and sending this VERY INFORMATIVE daily
digest.  

(This is the first issue of it I have received.)   Please keep up this good
work!

And here is a link you could share, particularly with the people who will be
attending today's 3:00pm FSU Roundtable on "Violence and Non-violence",
which contains thoughtful reflections by a long-time expert on non-violence
(Michael Nagler), as he observes and participates in the spreading Occupy
movement --

In appreciative solidarity,
