Title A name given to the resource Madison Area Peace Coalition E-mails Description An account of the resource The Madison Area Peace Coalition (MAPC) formed fourteen days after the September 11 attacks to oppose (among other goals) the use of U.S. military, economic, or political force – whether direct or proxy, overt or covert -- "that violates the sovereignty or human rights of any nation or people." The Archive has assembled here e-mails exchanges from MAPC dating from the group's founding until late November 2001. September 11 Email September 11 Email: Body The basic content, as unstructured text; sometimes containing a signature block at the end. FYI, the resolution that Berkeley's City Council passed yesterday, from http://www.ci.berkeley.ca.us/citycouncil/2001citycouncil/summary/101601S.htm l It looks like only 1 and 5 of the separated resolution passed, though it's a bit unclear to me (Berkeley has 8 alders and resolutions need a simple majority to pass).  One important thing we have to decide is what balance to strike between what we'd REALLY like to say and what will possibly pass City Council.  Although we can generate lots of good community discussion by bringing a controversial resolution before the Council we know isn't likely to pass... I left a message for x about a possible Madison resolution today. We'll discuss more at our meeting tomorrow (Tues 10/23, 6 pm, Paul Bunyan room, Mem Union)... See you then! -x Bombing of Afghanistan From:  Councilmember Spring Recommendation:   1) Request the City Manager send letters to our elected national representatives asking them to take whatever action they can to cease the bombing of Afghanistan and to seek a legal, nonmilitary resolution; 2) Endorse and send  to these officials, the attached letter recently presented by Vice Mayor Shirek to the Congressional Black Caucus, which acknowledges and grieves the tragic events of September 11th;  and  3) adjourn this Council meeting in memory of the innocent civilians in Afghanistan being harmed and made refugees due to the bombing.
