Communications Comm Status report 11/09/01
1) The database is in progress. I have a printed copy of the draft join
form that I can bring to the meeting to show. New groups are not yet
included.
2) I have added and removed the changing outies from the cc mail lists.
3) Several web pages plus other printed materials need to be updated with
the new outies. I will work on completing this over the weekend and should
have what I know done by our meeting. One dilema - since the Int'l cmte has
yet to have an official name, I've been holding on updating this info on the
Web. This includes creating a mail list for this group.

X et al,
at the first meeting, i recall a few (not many, but
very vocal) out of towners who were vehement that we
1.name our group "madison area" and not just "madison"
and also, that we hold meetings off campus. the second
preference was also, i believe, stated from in madison
but not on campus folk.
i agree that for students willy st seems far. but i
also might note that perhaps we have gotten less folk
from neighborhoods because we have only HAD meetings
on campus.
in light of this, i certainly don't want to isolate
the students out from the group, but i also think that
smaller, outreach meetings should be happening in
community centers. the arts folk and i are very
interested in this concept. i do feel that the
neighborhoods need attention too, but so far as coming
from out of town, what's the difference between campus
and willy st? not much. so i would suggest that we do
on campus still, but offer up GOOD parking solutions
and bus info in each announcement about the meeting,
to encourage folks from outside campus to come in. as
well, continue efforts to reach outside the university
to people on a day to day level, and advertise for the
meetings far into outlying communities. for the sake
of saving funds, staying central and reaching
students, campus is a good solution, but not the only
aspect, and should be supported by consistent
advertising out and about.
your transitional cc rep from arts,

Hey, all. Sorry about my abrupt departure Sunday. My sister's been watching my kids for me during meetings, and has other commitments to get to in the evening; don't mean to be rude.
I'm writing to do the follow up Gillam requested on the "People for People, People for Peace" event. I hope this will be a clear and read-able version of what I spewed at you in the meeting, something you can work with and convey to your groups.
From all committees we request the following:
that anyone and everyone possible make a leafleting piece for the "Information and Inspiration" table. This is the booth where folks can pick up materials to keep, pass to friends, canvas. This is all unofficial stuff, not MAPC affiliated, necessarily, but info that people can use for encouragement and proliferation of the peace message. They can be gentle and non-political, or informative and opinionated, or specifically targeting one problem with the war, etc, etc. If those doing one of these could bring 20 or so copies to the event, that would be great. Otherwise, you can attach it in an email to me: X
That you support in whatever way possible our campaign to get the word out on this event. I have some individuals who have volunteered to leaflet, but we may need more help as the event approaches. I'll keep you posted.
Please bring forth suggestions on food donations, musical and kids' acts, and anything else that would help us run this smoothly and make it fun.
Additionally, most of you (we hope) will be doing some sort of booth/table for the event. (as suggested below) We have eight tables reserved right now --we will definitely be asking for more. But, the gist is that you'll all have a six-foot table to work with, and other than that, please see that your information is presented nicely and attractively, perhaps with a sign designating your area, with someone to stand there and be in charge of it!
Now, for the individual committee items and efforts that we're requesting...
Action:
bring materials for a table on upcoming MAPC events, perhaps a sign up sheet for further notification of events, or informative materials -- yours is the most ambiguous. Use this venue as you see fit...Please keep in mind this is a family affair, and somewhat festive (we hope).
Communication:
Gail, this is actually directed at you! It sounds like you have already covered the committee's bases with the web thing. So, if you could keep me posted on how the sewing's going, that would be good. Also, when and where can I get you fabric? And, just so you know, it sounds like we will have a few seamstresses at the event working on further sewing, so really if you could just get 5 - 10 bags together before the event, that would be great! And, if you could let me know how long they take to make, so I can get a feel for what we're dealing with. I may also ask you to be the "advisor" to the sewing table, in the very beginning, since you will have already had some experience with the sewing. Let me know if you are comfortable with this role. Would you want to bring your machine to the event?
Arts and Culture:
We will continue organizing volunteers from the coalition (largely unaffiliated with committees -- off the volunteer sheets), seeking acts and music, finding donations, and overseeing the sweeping organization. We will plan and create decorations, come up with a floor plan, and signs to designate some of the areas for the "fair"-type environment inside the venue. We will oversee the peace quilt project, and the other art projects for kids there. We will create a better flyer for the major distribution of info -- although, if anyone can help with this, it would be sooo appreciated.
Finance/Fundraising:
Bring your buttons! Make a nice little set up for them, etc. Bring the art and info for the art auction???
Also, if you could get us that tax exempt # ASAP, we really need it!!!
Outreach/Education:
Please help with getting the information out to organizations, in church's agendas and bulletins, in school buildings, at pre-schools, to the girl scouts, and the YMCA, etc, etc. Keep us posted on how that's going, if you can! You can use the flyer that you have now until we develop a better one (hopefully by the end of this week).
Also, can you develop or put together some materials on the refugees we're actually helping?
the "this is who you're helping" theme. If you could make this booth rather catchy, with pictures, a sign with the suggested phrase "this is who you're helping...", etc. I have an article that I'll give to someone on your committee at the GM meeting.
International Solidarity:
If you could do a booth on the international anti-war movement, that would be wonderful. I"m thinking articles and pictures from the foreign press.... Make it catchy, give it a cool title and sign, so that people can see what it is from a distance. Also, if you guys could commit, say three or four people to work the event, that would be so great!!! If anyone has cars and can pick up food donations on the way, that's even better!!!!
Labor and Student Caucuses:
Please get the word out to your people!!! Please consider putting together some kind of booth as you see fit for this venue. Please encourage your special "spokespeople" (from the students, from the labor contingency) to voice their opinions for the Information and Inspiration table by creating a canvasing piece.
Media:
Please contact the normal sources: newspapers, radio, TV, etc, and get the event in the community calendars. We can talk more about what, exactly should go in there, but I think you all know what is appropriate for these situations, so maybe it would be best for you to take the info from the flyer attached here, from the webpage postings, and from what you see here to explain what the event is all about. The donation info (what we're looking for) is pretty important, if it can fit. Otherwise, e-mail (mine?) and web address can be used as info sources for those with questions.
I thought you may also want to see if WORT wanted to collaborate with you on a booth on free press for the event. Just an idea.
That should be all for now. Attached is the preliminary flyer (very rough, the one you have, more or less) for the event. I will bring copies to the GM meeting as well. We need to develop something better for the mass distribution.
Thanks so, so much! Please contact me with any questions, concerns, problems, or criticisms.
See you Tues.

You Can Help Stop Terrorism Before It Starts!
Terrorism is a tactic of desperate people. The Taliban was born and bred in the miserable refugee camps of Pakistan. Today 2 million more Afghans are expected to join these camps and others like them in Iran. Will they too live for years in poverty, lacking food, shelter, medical care, schooling and hope? Will they become recruits for terrorism?

Come join us for this celebration of giving and help these people who are in such need.

The United States has used the biggest conventional bomb in its armoury
the 15,000lb (6,800kg) Daisy Cutter for the first time in the campaign.
The fuel-air explosive device, which detonates just above the ground and
whose blast has been described as being like a nuclear weapon without the
fallout, was used twice on Taliban and al-Qa'ida fortifications in the
last few days.
....
The bombs are pushed out of the back of C-130 aircraft on pallets and
detonate about three feet above the ground, covering a mile-wide area with
a mushroom cloud of aluminium powder which burns at about 5,500C
(10,000F).

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.

I have mixed feelings about this approach. What do you think?
> Only Poetry Can Address Grief:

>
> In the middle of the Anti-Capitalist Convergence march in
>Washington DC last month, I found myself nose to nose with a line of
>police attempting to push the crowd back. I was facing an angry but
>very short policewoman so in my case it was actually nightstick to
>bosom. "Get back, get back!" she was shouting, but our line was not
>giving ground. I explained to her, calmly and I thought, quite
>reasonably, that we were not going to get back, because there was
>nowhere for us to go. I think of that moment now as a metaphor for
>where what I like to call the Global Justice movement is today. We
>are facing an array of forces telling us to get back, to disperse,
>to leave the scene. The forces of the state, the media, all the
>powers that support global corporate capitalism would like to see us
>go away.
>
> But we have nowhere to go.
>
> We have nowhere to go because the conditions we have been fighting
>have not gone away. The disparity between rich and poor has not
>grown less, the attempts of the corporate powers to consolidate
>their hegemony have not ceased, the environment has not miraculously
>repaired itself, and our economic and social systems have not
>suddenly become sustainable. We're on the Titanic; our efforts to
>turn the course of the ship have just been hijacked, and we're
>churning full steam ahead into the iceberg.
>
> We don't have the luxury of defraying action to a more favorable
>moment. We need the movement to keep moving forward. How do we do
>that in the face of increased repression and much potential public
>opposition?
>
> I. Stand our ground:
>
> First, we don't panic, and we stand our ground. Fear is running
>rampant at the moment, and every effort is being made by the
>authorities to increase and play upon that fear. While the general
>public may fear more terrorist attacks, we in the movement are
>equally or more afraid of what our governments may do in restricting
>civil liberties and targeting dissent. But either way, fear is the
>authorities' greatest weapon of social control. When we are in a
>state of fear, we're not taking in information, we're unable to
>clearly see or assess a situation, and we make bad decisions. We're
>more easily controlled.
>
> We can learn to recognize fear, in our own bodies, in our meetings,
>in our interactions. When fear is present, just stop for a moment,
>take a deep breath, and consciously set it aside. Then ask, 'What
>would we do in this situation if we weren't afraid?' From that
>perspective, we can make choices based on reasonable caution but
>also on vision.
>
> II. Acknowledge the grief:
>
> 911 threw us as collectively into a deep well of grief. We have
>had to face the awful power of death to intrude on our lives, to
>sear us with pain and loss, to reorder all our priorities and
>disrupt all our plans, to remind us that we walk the world in
>vulnerable, mortal flesh.
>
> The political task that faces us is to speak to the depth of that
>grief, not to gloss it over or trivialize it or use it to further
>stale agendas. If we simply shout at people over bullhorns,
>recycling the politics, the slogans, the language of the sixties, we
>will fail. The movement we need to build now, the potential for
>transformation that might arise out of this tragedy, must speak to
>the heart of the pain we share across political lines.
>
> A great hole torn has been torn out of the heart of the world.
>What we need now is not to close over the wound, but to dare to
>stare more deeply into it.
>
> To comprehend that grief, we must look at the possibility that it
>was present within us before the 11th, that the violence and death
>of that day released a flood tide of latent mourning. On one level,
>yes, we mourned for the victims and their families, for the
>destruction of familiar places and the disruption of the patterns of
>our lives. But on a deeper level, perhaps many of us were already
>mourning, consciously or not, the lack of connection and community
>in the society that built those towers, the separation from nature
>that they embodied, the diminishment of the wild, the closing off of
>possibilities and the narrowing of our life spaces. This frozen
>grief, transmuted into rage, has fueled our movements, but we are
>not the only ones to feel it.
>
> With the grief also comes a fear more profound than even the terror
>caused by the attack itself. For those towers represented human
>triumph over nature. Larger than life, built to be unburnable, they
>were the Titanic of our day. For them to burn and fall so quickly
>means that the whole superstructure we depend upon to mitigate
>nature and assure our comfort and safety could fall. And without it
>most of us do not know how to survive.
>
> We know, in our bones, that our technologies and economies are
>unsustainable, that nature is stronger than we are, that we cannot
>tamper with the very life systems of the earth without costs, and
>that we are creating such despair in the world that it must
>inevitably crack open, weep and rage. The towers falling were an
>icon of an upcoming reckoning we dread but secretly anticipate.
>
> The movement we need to build now must speak to the full weight of
>the loss, of the fear, and yet hold out hope. We must admit the
>existence of great forces of chaos and uncertainty, and yet maintain
>that out of chaos can come destruction, but also creativity.
>
> III. Develop a new political language:
>
> Faced with the profundity of loss, with the stark reality of death,
>we find words inadequate. "What do I say to someone who just lost
>his brother in the towers?" a hard core New York activist asks me.
>"How do I talk to him?"
>
> The language of abstraction doesn't work. Ideology doesn't work.
>Judgment and hectoring and shaming and blaming cannot truly touch
>the depth of that loss. Only poetry can address grief. Only words
>that convey what we can see and smell and taste and touch of life,
>can move us.
>
> To do that we need to forge a new language of both the word and the
>deed. We on the Left can be as devoted to certain words and
>political forms as any Catholic was ever attached to the Latin Mass.
>We incant "imperialism" or "anti-capitalist" or "non-violence" or
>even "peace" with an almost religious fervor, as if the words alone
>could strike blows in the struggle.
>
> Those words are useful, and meaningful. But they're like the
>cliché that the bad poet turns to. They are the easy first answer
>that relieves us of the work of real expression.
>
> Lately I'm hearing some of my most political friends say, "I can't
>go to another rally. I can't stand hearing one more person tell me
>in angry tones what the answers are."
>
> What if we stopped in the middle of our rallies and said, "But you
>know, these issues are complex, and many of us have mixed feelings,
>and let's take some time for all the people here to talk to each
>other instead of listening to more speeches."
>
> If we could admit to some of our own ambiguities, we might also
>find that we are closer than we think to that supposed overwhelming
>majority of war supporters, who in reality may have deeply mixed
>feelings of their own.
>
> IV. Propose our own alternative to Bush's war:
>
> Defining the September attacks as an act of war rather than a
>criminal act has only dignified the perpetrators. Going to war has
>turned us into Bin Laden's recruiting agency, rapidly alienating the
>entire Muslim world. Bombing Afghanistan has made us look like
>thugs to the Muslim world, (and to everyone else with a heart and
>sense) and bred thousands of new potential ready-to-die enemies.
>The bombing, by preventing relief trucks from delivering serious
>food supplies before winter, now threatens to impose starvation on
>up to seven million Afghanis.
>
> In spite of what the polls and the media tell us, I don't
>necessarily believe that the bulk of the U.S. population is frothing
>at the mouth with eagerness for Afghani blood. The phrase I keep
>hearing is a plaintive "We need to do something." Bush's program
>is the only one laid out for us. The attacks are real, and
>devastating; simply calling for 'peace' and singing "Where Have All
>the Flowers Gone?" does not address their seriousness. If we oppose
>Bush's war, we need a clear alternative.
>
> Diplomacy does not mean weakness. It means being smarter than the
>opposition, not just better armed. Diplomacy also does not mean
>simply issuing ultimatums backed by bombs. It means actually
>understanding something of the culture of the people you're
>negotiating with. It means actually negotiating, offering a carrot
>as well as a stick, being willing to let the other side come out
>with something less than total humiliation. If the goal of the war
>is truly to get Bin Laden, well, the Taliban just offered to deliver
>him to a third country.
>
> This could be a moment to switch our policy, to negotiate, to work
>with and strengthen international institutions and the U.N., to
>begin to deliver massive and meaningful humanitarian aid to the
>region. Any or all of those acts would increase our long term
>security far more than our present course.
>
> V. Expose the real aims of the war:
>
> We have about as much chance of doing any of the above as I have of
>being offered a post in the current Administration. All the
>indications are that Bush wants a war, to establish U.S. hegemony in
>Central Asia and the East, to forestall an Asian alliance that might
>oppose our vested interests with interests of their own, to take
>control of rich oil resources of Central Asia and provide a safe
>passage for an oil pipeline across Afghanistan, to deflect from the
>illegitimacy of his own presidency, to implement the entire right
>wing agenda. We need to continue educating the public about those
>aims and about the real consequences of the war. To do that, we
>need to talk to people-not just at rallies and teach-ins, but in our
>neighborhoods, our workplaces, our schools, on the bus, in the
>street, on talk shows, with our families. It can be easier to march
>into a line of riot cops than to voice an unpopular opinion where we
>live, but we've got to do it and to learn to do it calmly and
>effectively.
>
> And while we're talking about the war, we need to make the
>connections to the broader issues we were working on before the
>eleventh of September. The war can be an opening to challenge
>racism, and to spotlight the U.S.'s historic role of training,
>arming, and supporting terrorists-including Bin Laden and the
>Taliban in previous years. In an age of terrorism, does an economy
>entirely dependent on oil-based long distance transport really make
>sense? (Especially as it didn't make sense before, but never mind
>that.) The Anthrax scares are a perfect opportunity to push for true
>domestic security in the form of a well-funded, functioning public
>health system, availability of hospital beds and medical care,
>support for local food producers, development of alternative energy
>resources, etc. The right wing has used the attacks and the war to
>justify their agenda, but with a little political jujitsu we can
>redraw their picture of reality.
>
> VI. Develop our vision:
>
> Despair breeds fundamentalism, fanaticism, and terrorism.
>
> A world of truly shared abundance would be a safer world.
>
> The policies of global corporate capitalism have not brought us
>that world. They've been tried-and found wanting. We need to
>replace them with our own vision.
>
> The global justice movement has often been accused of not knowing
>what it wants. In reality, we know clearly the broad outlines of
>what we want even though we have a multiplicity of ideas of how to
>get there. I can lay it out for you in five short paragraphs:
>
> We want enterprises to be rooted in communities and responsible to
>communities and to future generations. We want producers to be
>accountable for the true social and ecological costs of what they
>produce.
>
> We say there is a commons that needs to be protected, that there
>are resources that are too vital to life, too precious or sacred to
>be exploited for the profit of the few, including those things that
>sustain life: water, traditional lands and productive farmland, the
>collective heritage of ecological and genetic diversity, the earth's
>climate, the habitats of rare species and of endangered human
>cultures, sacred places, and our collective cultural and
>intellectual knowledge.
>
> We say that those who labor are entitled, as a bare minimum, to
>safety, to just compensation that allows for life, hope and dignity,
>and to have the power to determine the conditions of their work.
>
> We say that as humans we have a collective responsibility for the
>well being of others, that life is fraught with uncertainty, bad
>luck, injury, disease, and loss, and that we need to help each other
>bear those losses, provide generously and graciously the means for
>all to have food, clothing, shelter, health care, education, and the
>possibility to realize their dreams and aspirations. Only then will
>we have true security.
>
> We say that democracy means people having a voice in the decisions
>that affect them, including economic decisions.
>
> VII. Develop our strategy:
>
> We might begin by acknowledging that we have had a highly
>successful strategy for the past two years. Since Seattle, what
>we've done is to oppose every summit, as a means of focusing
>attention on the institutions of globalization that were functioning
>essentially in secret, and delegitimizing them. Systems fall when
>they hit a crisis of legitimacy, when they can no longer inspire
>faith and command compliance. Our strategy should continue to work
>toward creating that crisis for the institutions of global corporate
>capitalism. In the meantime, in spite of all appearances the
>government may already be creating that crisis for itself. For
>ultimately, nothing delegitimizes a government faster than not being
>able to provide for the physical or economic security of its people.
>
> Now our strategy needs to broaden and become more complex.
>
> Contest the summits when and where we can, but perhaps with some
>new tactics that clearly embody the alternatives we represent.
>
> Turn more of our attention to local organizing, bringing the global
>issues home and making organizing and activism an ongoing, sustained
>process. And find ways to make that process as juicy and exciting
>as some of the big, global actions.
>
> Find ways to link local issues and actions regionally and globally.
>
> Start to build the alternatives: alternative economic enterprises
>on new models, directly democratic systems of governance such as
>neighborhood or watershed councils or town meetings, everything from
>alternative energy co-operatives to community gardens to local
>currencies. Look for ways to let those alternatives delegitimize
>the status quo.
>
> VIII. Organize openly:
>
> In times of increasing repression, the strongest way to resist is
>not to hide, but to become even more open in our organizing and our
>communications. The more out there we are, the harder we'll be to
>brand as terrorists. The more faces they photograph at rallies and
>marches, the less meaningful any single face will be. The more
>information they collect, the less they'll be able to collate,
>analyze and make sense of it all. And if they read my email-they're
>welcome to read my email. Somebody ought to, and I don't have time
>to read it all myself. Maybe I could pay one of them a small extra
>fee to sort it for me and send me a summary of the high points.
>
> Security culture either has to be so good you can outspook the CIA,
>or it simply makes you look like you have something to hide and
>attracts the attention of the authorities. And it makes it
>extremely difficult to mobilize, educate and inspire people. Yes,
>there are actions that depend on surprise, but with a little
>cleverness we can figure out how to do that in a basically open
>setting. "And tonight, each affinity group spoke receives a sealed
>envelope-open it at five A.M. tomorrow and it will give you two
>alternative beginning points for your march. Flip a coin to decide
>which one to go to"
>
> IX. Make our actions count:
>
> Political action may well become more costly in the next months and
>years. That simply means we need to be more clear and thoughtful in
>planning and carrying out our actions. Most of us are willing to
>take risks in this work and to make sacrifices if necessary, but no
>one wants to sacrifice for something meaningless or stupid. We can
>no longer afford vaguely planned, ill considered actions that don't
>accomplish anything-and believe me, I've done more than my fair
>share of them.
>
> We should never carry out an action that involves significant
>risks, unless the following five points are addressed:
>
> 1. We know what our intention is-are we trying to raise public
>awareness, delegitimize an institution, influence an individual, end
>an immediate wrong?
>
> 2. We have a clear objective and know what it is--are we trying to
>close down a meeting, deliver a petition, pressure an official to
>meet with us, provide a service? What are we trying to communicate,
>to whom, and how? What would victory look like?
>
> 3. We make sure the acts we take, the symbols we use, the focus we
>choose and the tactics we use reflect our intentions and objectives.
>We resist the temptation to do extraneous things that might detract
>from our focus.
>
> 4. We have an exit strategy. How are we going to end the action?
>How are we going to get out once we get in?
>
> 5. We have ongoing support lined up for afterwards-legal, medical,
>political support, people willing to offer solidarity if needed.
>
> X. Use tactics that fit the new strategy and situation:
>
> All of us are rethinking our tactics in the light of the current
>situation. We often argue tactics on the grounds of morality-is it
>right or wrong, violent or nonviolent, to throw a tear gas canister
>back into a line of police? To break a window? We might do better
>to ask, "Do these particular tactics support our goals and
>objectives," and "Are they actually working?"
>
> Those who advocate highly confrontational tactics, such as property
>damage and fighting the cops, are generally trying to strike blows
>against the system. But at the moment, the system has been struck
>harder than we could have imagined, and is reeling toward fascism,
>not liberation. In the present climate, such tactics are most
>likely to backfire and confirm the system's legitimacy.
>
> Many classic nonviolent tactics are designed to heighten the
>contrast between us and them, to claim the high moral ground and
>point out the violence of the system. But many of those tactics no
>longer function in the same way. Static, passive tactics become
>boring and disempowering. Symbolic, cross-the-line arrests don't
>seem to impress the public with our nobility and dedication any
>more, even when they are noticed at all. Mass arrests may be used
>to justify police violence, even when the arrestees were completely
>peaceful. When the police cooperate in making the arrest easy and
>low risk, the process confirms rather than challenges the power of
>the state. When they don't, even symbolic actions are costing
>heavily in jail time or probation. The price may well be worth it,
>but there's only so many times in a lifetime we can pay it, so our
>choices need to be thoughtful and strategic.
>
> We need a new vocabulary of tactics, that can be empowering,
>visionary, confrontational without reading as proto-terrorist, and
>that work toward a crisis of legitimacy for the system. We also
>need tactics and actions that prefigure the world we want to create,
>but that do so in a way that has some edge and bite to it.
>
> Here are a few we are already using that could be further developed:
>
> Mobile, fluid street tactics: Groups like Art and Revolution,
>Reclaim the Streets, the Pink Blocs of Prague and Genoa and the
>Living River in Quebec have brought art, dance, drums, creativity
>and mobility to street actions, and developed mobile and fluid
>street tactics. Such actions are focused not on getting arrested
>(although that may be a consequence of the actions) nor on
>confrontations with the cops, but on accomplishing an objective:
>claiming a space and redefining it; disrupting business as usual,
>etc., while embodying the joy of the revolution we are trying to
>make. In Toronto on October 16, snake dancing columns of people
>managed to disrupt the financial district in spite of a very tense
>police presence. The Pink Bloc has snake danced through police
>lines. The Pagan Cluster in Quebec City and DC was able to perform
>street rituals in the midst of dangerous situations, in ways that
>allowed participation by people with widely varying needs around
>safety. The Fogtown Action Avengers in San Francisco combined an
>open, public ritual which distracted the police from a surprise
>disruption of the stock exchange carried out by an affinity group
>dressed as Robin Hood.
>
> Claiming space: Reclaim the Streets takes an intersection, moves
>in a sound system and couches, and throws a party. A Temporary
>Autonomous Zone is a space we take over and then exemplify the world
>we want to live in, with free food, healing, popular education, a
>Truly Free Market where goods are given away or traded, workshops,
>conversations, sports, theater.
>
> Street services and alternative services: Groups like Food Not
>Bombs have been directly feeding the homeless for decades. One of
>the most successful direct actions I've ever been involved with was
>a group called Prevention Point that pioneered street based needle
>exchanges for drug users to prevent the spread of AIDS. In DC in
>September, during the Anti-Capitalist Convergence's Temporary
>Autonomous Zone and during the Sunday peace march rally, the Pagan
>Cluster set up an Emotional Healing Space that offered informal
>counseling, massage, food, water and hands-on healing. The
>IndyMedia Centers provide alternative news coverage and a powerful
>challenge to corporate media. The medical and legal services we
>provide during an action could be expanded. Guerilla gardeners
>could be mobilized in new ways. Imagine a convergence that left a
>community transformed by community gardens, with toxic sites
>healing, worm farms thriving, and streets lined with fruit trees.
>
> Popular education: One of the values of mass convergences has been
>the education and training we've been able to provide for each
>other, from teach-ins on the global economy to climbing instruction.
>Almost every Summit has had its CounterSummit. Most of these have
>followed the rough format of an academic conference, with presenters
>talking to an audience or facilitating a discussion. But many more
>interactive and creative ways of teaching and learning could be
>brought into them: role plays, story-telling circles, councils. We
>could hold a giant simulation of a meeting, with people role playing
>delegations and grappling with the issues on the table, but from the
>starting point of our own values.
>
> People are hungry to talk about the war, about their fears and
>beliefs and opinions. The Zapatistas give us the example of the
>Consulta-a process of going out to the people to both listen to
>concerns and mobilize. We might halt the speeches at a rally for ten
>minutes to let people talk to each other. Or do away with the
>speeches altogether, and instead ask groups to facilitate
>smaller-group discussions on their issues and tactics, run short
>training sessions, offer games or dances or rituals. And we could
>develop ways to create instant Public Conversations as actions and
>as education. Caravans can bring discussion and education out of
>the urban centers, and could embody alternative energies and
>possibilities, running their vehicles on vegetable oil, bringing
>solar panels to power sound systems.
>
> These are just a few ideas that can stimulate our thinking and
>awaken our creativity.
>
> XI. Renew our spirits:
>
> These are hard times. Many of us have been working intensely for a
>long time and are now seeing the possibility of our hard won
>political gains being swept away. Fear and loss surround us, and
>many forces are at work trying to make us feel isolated,
>marginalized and disempowered. At best, the work ahead of us seems
>overwhelming.
>
> If we are going to sustain this work and regain our momentum, we
>need to allow ourselves time to rest, to go to those places we are
>working so hard to save and be open to their beauty, to receive
>support and love from the communities we are working for. We need
>to nurture our relationships with each other, to offer not just
>political solidarity but personal warmth and caring. Death and loss
>rearrange our priorities, teach us how much we need each other, and
>make it easier to drop some of the petty things that interfere with
>our true connections.
>
> Many activists mistrust religion and spirituality, often for good
>reasons. But each of us is in this work because something is sacred
>to us-sacred in the sense that it means more than our comfort or
>convenience, that it determines all of our other values, that we are
>willing to risk ourselves in its service. It might not be a God,
>Goddess or deity, but rather a belief in freedom, the feeling we get
>when we stand under a redwood tree or watch a bird winging across
>the sky, a commitment to truth or to a child. Whatever it is, it
>can feed and nurture us as well. For activists who have some form
>of identified spiritual practice, now is a good time to seriously
>practice it. For those who don't, it might still be worth taking
>time to ask yourself, "Why do I do this work? What is most
>important to me? What does feed me?"
>
> The answer might be grand and noble, or it might be small and
>ordinary, hip hop or sidewalk chalk. Whatever it is, make it a
>priority. Do it daily, if you can, or at least regularly. Bring it
>into actions with you. Let it renew your energy when you're down.
>We need you in this struggle for the long haul, and taking care of
>yourself is a way of preserving one of the movement's precious
>resources.
>
> The goal of terrorists, whether of the freelance or the state
>variety, is to fill all our mental and emotional space with fear,
>rage, powerlessness and despair, to cut us off from the sources of
>life and hope. Violence and fear can make us shut down to the
>things and beings that we love. When we do, we wither and die.
>When we consciously open ourselves to the beauty of the world, when
>we choose to love another tenuous and fragile being, we commit an
>act of liberation as courageous and radical as any foray into the
>tear gas.
>
> There is nowhere left to go, but forward. If we hold onto hope and
>vision, if we dare to walk with courage and to act in the service of
>what we love, the barriers holding us back will give way, as the
>police eventually did in our Washington march. The new road is
>unmarked and unmapped. It feels unfamiliar, but exhilarating;
>dangerous, but free. We were born to blaze this trail, and the
>great powers of life and creativity march with us toward a viable
>future.

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.

Just to clarify--apparently my message was perceived by some as being an
attack on an individual--which it most certainly was not intended to be.
I hoped by beginning with the phrase, "the CC may not be aware of this," to
indicate that i was assuming there was a communication issue of some kind.
I'm not casting blame on any individual--it's just growing pains of the
group. Any frustration in my msg is directed at logistical problems in
general, not toward any individual. We're all doing our best and these
issues will be sorted out with time.
Also for future reference, when I do argue against an individual's opinion
or ideas, it probably isn't personal.
I think the main issues that came out of this are
(1) Who calls an action--the CC or AC?
(2) We need a clearer def'n of an emergency
(3) We need phone communication within the AC
in solidarity

That's why I agree (for the first time ever, I believe) with Mayor Giuliani. We MUST get back to normal as soon as possible. We need to show those animals that we are incredibly resilient and nothing will keep us down. Yes, it's beyond horrific but if we wail and wail for weeks then that's what they want. They believe they have hit targets that have completely destroyed our way of live but they have no idea how amazingly strong we are. Yes, for many people they have lost family members who worked in the World Trade Center and surrounding area, uniformed emergency service jobs, and near the Pentagon...in addition to the passengers on the planes. The amount of fire fighters and cops lost is beyond belief! But.... We need to show them that we can bounce back immediately, dig out, mourn for our losses but stand up straight and move on with our lives. I think this is so important!

Oh x,
I hope you hear from x soon.
I was below Canal Street for my class right after the collapse. Ofcourse it
was cancelled but I was already on my way there. It was awful. All the people
in droves on the street just walking around with this lost look and a lot of
people had no shoes and were covered in soot. This one man told me he just
got out of the building but had seen bodies falling past his office window
before he escaped.
My heart and prayers are with all those families who have friends and loved
ones in the building. I used to work at the Citibank in WTC and am thinking
about those I worked with there, but I am sure they must be safe because it
was the ground floor and they had a great chance to get out.
I'm concerned for x's family though. Many of her cousins are firefighters
and cops. I called her last night but have not heard back to make sure her
family was ok.
What a horrendous tragedy, I'm scared about what will be next. They have
closed off our area below 14th Street. Yesterday I went to St. Vincent's to
volunteer and will try to return today.
To walk out on 7th Avenue and see nothing downtown brings such an immediate
sense of loss, and I don't think the true impact of this has even set in yet
for us all.
I hope you hear from x soon and that all those in your life are safe.

X and the rest of the Policy WG/C<
Thanks for all the hard work you've been putting into this. For others out
in
discuss-land, Xand I have been in close contact throughout this
process.
I'm in progress of contacting tthe three most progresive alders on tthis
issue
and hopefully will connect with some yet tonight--Wednesday, noon is the
deadline to get the resolution to the clerk's office by one of tthe alders.
( I
know them since I spent the last 6 years on the Council.)
I absolutely believe that this can't and shouldn't be put off or abandoned.
It
will give both the supportive alders and people from the community to come
out
in full force to, hopefully, jam the halls of the Council meeting room --
you
should all pencil it in on your calendars for 11/20; meeting begins at
6:30pm,
but when this issue will come up depends on where it's located on the
agenda.
It will get people speaking up about the issues, both community and our
representatives and I do think the Council will look really bad if they
don't
pass something comparable to our resolution (I'm sure the "weaker" one would
be
the "winner" of the two, and even that may be watered down, but if we don't
bring this up now --that humanitarian aid should be allowed to be dropped
safely and have the bombing stop -- than when???????
Both the Council alders and the community will survive this, no matter what
the
final decision is that the Council makes that night. We shall not be hurt
by
this, even if it were to take the worst case scenario and have nothing pass.
The Council will simply be seen for what it is on this, and those who
support it
will have that to be proud of and we will be proud of them. If we gain
support
by the majority, it will be glorius!
I certainly don't think it will create any animosity that doesn't already
exist
on that body, so that shouldn't be a problem.
I'll let X and the Policy WG/C know what I can further find out from
certain alders and I'm sure that Policy will get back to all of us. But,
definitely, as some MAPC'ers pointed out at our last GM, we have in the past
and
should once again this, come out in great numbers and strength Nov. 20
supporting the resolution and those alders who support it!

Hello CC,
The more I think about this, the more I think having the MAPC meeting at
WilMar is not a good idea. Students had been feeling left out of MAPC (or
not taken seriously) for some time. I think this has begun to change for the
better. Having a meeting so far from campus could set us back.
I remember when I was a student. Taking a bus out to the East side was a big
deal and seemed very inconvenient. I think we would do well to have this
meeting off campus, but not too far away so that we can continue to involve
students.
I talked to X about this and she was fine with looking for additional
locations, if someone else was willing to do it. She is busy with work
tomorrow. I asked a friend (who is retired and available tomorrow) to call
around for some other options. It can't hurt to try.
Peace,
X

AFGHANISTAN IS VIETNAM....
and Yugoslavia, Colombia, and Somalia,
all rolled into one
By X
As the U.S. war begins in Afghanistan, the budding
antiwar movement claims that "Afghanistan is Vietnam,"
meaning that "America's new war" could
become bogged down in a quagmire
or even end in defeat.
But Afghanistan is not simply like Vietnam.
I have followed Afghan politics with morbid
fascination since the civil wars and Soviet
invasion of the late 1970s. The recent history
of Afghanistan demonstrates that a new
war in that country would not simply be like
the U.S. war in Vietnam. The war would instead be
like Vietnam, Yugoslavia, Colombia, and Somalia
all rolled into one. Afghanistan offers a
package deal of multiple disasters, loaded
with extra bonus features.
Afghanistan is Vietnam. There is some
historical truth to this claim. Like the Afghanis
who defeated British and Russian invaders,
the Vietnamese defeated the Chinese and
French before us. The U.S. took on a
people whose main motivation was not ideology,
but a fierce sense of independence from
foreign rule. Vietnamese guerrillas had
widespread support in the countryside,
partly because U.S. forces distinguished little
between combatants and civilians, and were
backing an unpopular and corrupt
South Vietnamese dictatorship. It will be
similarly difficult to tell who is who
in Afghanistan, and impossible to
find any force representing "freedom."
But Afghanistan is not simply like
Vietnam. After the Communist rebels and
their North Vietnamese sponsors won the
war in 1975, Vietnam became a unified
state with a stable central government
and a single core ethnic identity. Afghanistan,
on the other hand, has never had a strong central
government, and is split into ethnic enclaves.
Afghanistan is Yugoslavia. Like
Yugoslavia before it violently split into ethnic
ministates, Afghanistan is a multiethnic
country with no single dominant group.
Its civil wars have further divided the
country into strong enclaves of ethnic groups,
most of which straddle the borders of neighboring
countries. In the north, Tajiks,
Uzbeks and Turkmens have strong ties to
adjacent ex-Soviet republics. The territory
controlled by the anti-Taliban Northern Alliance
corresponds almost exactly to the Tajik
region. The Pashtuns, who form the bulk of the
Taliban, spill over into Pakistan. The Baluchis
in the south have brethren in both Pakistan
and Iran, and the Hazaras in the central region
have Shi'ite religious ties to Iran. A new
conflagration in Afghanistan could result in
a partition that enlarges adjacent states or
splinters the country into new and even
more unstable ethnic ministates.
But Afghanistan is not simply like
Yugoslavia. Serbian and Croatian
voters eventually ousted their ultranationalist
leaders. Their new countries have industrial
economies, unlike impoverished Afghanistan
which has long been forced to rely on an
underground, illegal drug economy.
Afghanistan is Colombia. Just as all
sides in the Colombian civil war have
profited from the cocaine trade,
all Afghan factions together form
one of the global centers of the opium
trade. The U.S.-backed mujahadin
rebels defeated the Soviets partly by
purchasing weapons with drug profits.
Their successors in the Northern Alliance
have continued the practice despite
international pressure. The Taliban
also engage in drug trafficking, despite
a generous U.S. grant of $43 million
to aid us in the "drug war." The
outlaw tradition in Afghanistan
is ideally suited for the drug warlord
culture.
But Afghanistan is not simply Colombia.
Though Colombia is divided into
government and rebel zones that
intersect with narcotic fiefdoms,
it at least has national institutions and
national political parties. Afghanistan
has little national identity apart from
its resistance to outsiders, and no
cohesion within its political factions.
Afghanistan is Somalia. From
the outset of Washington's
so-called "humanitarian intervention"
in Somalia, U.S. forces divided
the East African country into "good
guys" and "bad guys." Instead
of working with clan elders to
end clan warfare, it sided
with one local warlord against
another local warlord, It is
repeating the same basic error in
Afghanistan, by backing the
Northern Alliance and alienating
the Pashtuns and their Pakistani
allies.
Not only has Afghanistan
been divided into political, ethnic
and clan factions, but each faction
is itself divided. The royalists were
divided into factions that led to
the 1973 ousting of King Zahir Shah.
The pro-Soviet Communists were
divided into Khalq (Masses) and Parcham
(Flag) factions that killed each other.
The mujahadin who ruled
Kabul in 1992-96 also battled
each other, opening the way for the
Taliban takeover. New schisms
are becoming evident within both
the Northern Alliance and
the Taliban.
U.S. forces may well
topple the unpopular Taliban
and install a paper government
in Kabul, probably under
the exiled King. But
then their problems will only
be beginning. The King is
86 years old, with no clear
successor. Each of the political
and ethnic factions will grab
for power in a new
government, and will deeply resent
the U.S. if they do not get it.
In the same way that U.S.
support for the mujahadin
planted the seeds of Osama
Bin Laden, U.S. support
of a new Afghan resistance
only guarantees continued
instability for the region.
The U.S. firepower directed against
Afghanistan has already targeted civilian
infrastructure such as power plants;
are they also directed against water
treatment plants in drought-stricken
Afghanistan, like in Iraq?
According to BBC reports, B-52s
are "carpetbombing" the areas around
the "terrorist camps," perhaps
including the mountain caves to which many
internal refugees have fled. About halfway
through the Yugoslav War, the
Pentagon complained that it had used
up all its initial Serbian targets; it
is a fair bet that after one day of
bombing Afghanistan that it
has already used up all possible
Taliban targets.
It is one thing to isolate the Taliban
from outside support,
backed by an international tribunal
on crimes against humanity.
It is another thing entirely to be lured
into what British journalist Robert
Fisk has called the "trap" of
massive retaliation. When Osama
Bin Laden launched his vicious attack on
the U.S., he was not simply making a
political statement, but was sending an
engraved invitation to war in
Afghanistan, a nation already littered
with 10 million landmines from
past wars. (Otherwise why not just
attack the Pentagon? Otherwise
why assassinate the Northern
Alliance leader?)
Such a long,
open-ended war would serve
Bin Laden's agenda of polarizing the region,
and plunging it into new Islamic revolts.
By sending an RSVP of B-52s
and loose talk about a new "crusade,"
President Bush is playing right along
with Bin Laden's script. Neither side
really wants to win this war quickly,
but wants to let a long conflict serve
its own purposes. The worst thing
for Bin Laden would be for the
U.S. to exercise restraint.
The worst thing for Bush would be
a quick capture of Bin Laden. Like
Saddam, Osama is worth more
to the U.S. alive than dead, as a
justification for crackdowns abroad
and at home.

I would support this. In fact, I wonder if we could put this
on in conjunction with some other resources who could discuss
Iraq issues and perhaps Afghan women's issues... maybe take the
opportunity to discuss "the Broadening War." A 45 minute opportunity
is good, and maybe an afternoon or evening with a somewhat broader
program would be even better!
The following from The Observer's 9/30 article on "infinite War"
bears thinking about:
"The plans put before the President during the past few days
involve expanding the war beyond Afghanistan to include similar
incursions by special ops forces - followed by air strikes by
the bombers they would guide - into Iraq, Syria and the Beqaa
Valley area of Lebanon, where the Syrian-backed Hizbollah (Party
of God) fighters that harass Israel are based.
In Iraq, any site suspected of being a chemical weapons facility
or proliferation plant of any threatening kind would be bombed,
in an escalation of the almost weekly current harassment of Iraqi
installations by British and US fighter jets.
In Syria and Lebanon, as in Afghanistan, special ops would guide
air strikes, and also be called on to mount guerrilla-style raids
on training camps and to carry out assassinations. While a presidential
executive order - which Bush is under pressure to revoke - bans
overseas assassinations, the Pentagon points out that the US
can act as it pleases in self-defence. If action in Lebanon led
to an Israeli reinvasion of the southern part of the country,
it would be supported by the US.
Asked whether the Hamas organisation on the West Bank and in
Gaza would be too controversial for inclusion among possible
targets, one source said: 'never say never'."

Tough call, they're saying 100 troops went in and out. Not a "major" ground
invasion. I think we'll know more in the morning, and can't do much before
