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.

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.
