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. I agree that it's an excellent idea, so long as the projects are well selected and it's done in such a way as not to enhance, rather than undermine or duplicate, the existing efforts to get these projects underway. (1)  O&E seems to be taking responsibility for poster distribution, so I'd definitely want them to head up that break-out group.  X & X, based on Milwaukee experience,  have suggested dividing the city into postering routes, each with a list of locations/businesses that will accept posters.  (I suspect this is part of O&E's plan, but wasn't at that part of the meeting.)  I think X's idea of focusing on the immediate events is good, but I'd also like to see this contribute to the creation of a permanent system, so that we aren't reinventing the wheel next time, and I think O&E can facilitate that dynamic. (2)  I'm less certain about the brochure, since I think writing/designing anything by committee should have been banned long ago under some international convention on torture.   Perhaps the breakout could be used to solicit suggestions, etc., but I'm a bit queasy about this. (3)  Pulling together a Labor Caucus is a great idea. (4)  I'd also like to see a breakout group for the Art Auction, which still lacks a coordinator.  (Yes, Iknow it's probably hopeless, but we can always try.) (5)  Poster design might be a worthwhile breakout, if only to create a list of  people with desktop pub. skills who can be called upon by any WG/C.  (It seems that the policy we are evolving is that each WG/C is responsible for designing its own posters, but have not always been able to do so as quickly as we'd like, so having a pool of talented volunteers would probably facilitate things.
