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.

Sounds great.  We're on the agenda. -----Original Message----- From: X Sent: Monday, November 12, 2001 5:31 PM To: policy@madpeace.org Subject: [MAPC-policy] thoughts on city resolution hi all, A few thoughts to pass on (after having talked to X)... First, it doesn't seem to me as though it's worthwhile trying to continue with a two-pronged approach.  We're having enough trouble getting the "weaker" resolution introduced - let's focus our efforts on that. Second, it seems as though we might alienate the progressive caucus by pushing to have the resolution voted on at the Nov 20 city council meeting. (Leading me to think we need a FOURTH party, but that's a rant for another time.) However, I'm thinking it might be effective to follow up on a suggestion from X, that we have (a few thoughtfully chosen) people go to the city council meeting on Nov 20 and demand they address the situation.  That will set the stage and demonstrate a real people's mandate for the resolution to be introduced and voted on at the next council meeting on Dec 4. Barbara's going to get this included on the agenda of the general MAPC meeting tomorrow night (6:30, Memorial Union, TITU).  I suggest we use our time at the general meeting to:     * summarize our efforts, especially the reluctance/ resistance of the progressive caucus to introduce the resolution     * propose that we organize a small, well-chosen delegation of individuals to demand the city council address the impending humanitarian crisis at the 11/20 council meeting     * push and fight like hell to have the resolution introduced, voted on, and ADOPTED at the Dec 4 council meeting     * get feedback from the larger MAPC group on this plan, along with thoughts on who we should recruit for the Nov 20 delegation (I'm thinking community, religious, campus, business leaders). Whad'y'all think? -X ____________________________________________ X East Timor Action Network field organizer   X Check out these internet sites! the East Timor Action Network/US http://www.etan.org Madison, WI - East Timor projects http://www.aideasttimor.org Madison's Social Justice Center http://www.socialjusticecenter.org "Independence is not about having a flag, a president, a parliament, a government. Independence must imply, year by year, gradual change in the life of the entire population of Timor Lorosa'e. If we fail to effect change in the daily life of the people, independence will be a meaningless concept, all our sacrifices throughout the years of the struggle will be in vain. And not one of us will allow this to occur." -Kay Rala Xanana Gusmão _______________________________________________ policy@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-policy _______________________________________________ policy@madpeace.org http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-policy September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
