This brings up an interesting possible solution . Could we have a single "
official day " for the Demo to occur on and still simply encourage groups
that cannot participate on that given day to participate within the same
week . If there was an official "event day" then individual groups
participating on that day could point out to the press that we were
participating in an International event involving huindreds of groups
around the world and it would still give the impression that it was a
coordingated NEWS worhty story . I have talked to my sister ( works
onscreen at a local tv station ) about this and she agrees . Spreading the
official day out over a week kills the newsworthiness of the event .
Groups unable to participate on the single weekend would be able to boast
that they were participating in an extension of the national event .
It also brings up the possibility that if the official schedule were not
changed to a single weekend we could round up a list of all the groups that
were participating on a given day ( or weekend ) and promote our events as
being coordinated with Xnumber of other groups around the world .
