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. A rare Chicago appearance of Tahmeena Faryal, a representative of RAWA-the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan-will take place on Friday, Nov. 9, 6 p.m. at Hot House 31 E. Balbo (between Wabash and State St.). The meeting is entitled: "The Other America Welcomes the Other Afghanistan: An Evening of International Solidarity with RAWA-the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan." The meeting is sponsored by News and Letters Committees(list of cosponsors is still in formation). For more information call: 312-236-0799; email: nandl@igc.org Can we oppose both the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11 and the U.S. government's war on Afghanistan by turning  a different vision of the future into a reality-a future of freedom, human dignity, cooperation, and genuine safety?  Who are our allies in helping to realize this vision? Come listen to and speak with TAHMEENA FARYAL, representative of RAWA, the Revolutionary Association of the Women of Afghanistan. RAWA is an independent, all-volunteer, non-violent organization that calls for multilateral disarmament and the establishment of a secular democracy in Afghanistan, where women may once again participate fully in public life. Since 1977, the women of RAWA have stood up to all native and foreigner oppressors with courage and principle. They opposed the Russian occupation of Afghanistan and today they oppose all Islamic fundamentalist forces, including both the Taliban and those in the Northern Alliance. On Sept. 14, RAWA condemned the Sept. 11 attacks as a barbaric act of violence and terror; opposed a U.S. military attack that would kill thousands of innocent Afghans for the crimes committed by the Taliban and Osama bin Laden; and expressed its "sincere hope that the great American people can differentiate between the people of Afghanistan and a handful of fundamentalist  terrorists." While the Taliban have outlawed education for women beyond the second grade, and deny them the few social services that exist in Afghanistan, RAWA secretly-and under the threat of death-provides schooling for girls and boys, as well as medical care and adult education for women. In neighboring Pakistan, it provides Afghan refugees with aid, runs orphanages, and sponsors income-generating projects. _______________________________________________ discuss@madpeace.org mailing list http://lists.OpenSoftwareServices.com/mailman/listinfo/madpeace-discuss September 11 Email: Date The local time and date when the message was written.
