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.
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
