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.

I remember it well.  The time was Wed, Nov 07, 2001 at 10:32:15AM -0600, and X muttered: > Ideally, I guess I'd like to see the "stronger" resolution introduced as a > communication and have the "weaker" one be introduced by one or (hopefully) > more progressive alders.  If that's not going to happen - and it sounds > unlikely from what you've sent - I think we need to pressure the alders > we've been talking to to introduce the "weaker" one before T'ksgiving.  I > have to say I'm really disappointed that they're hesitant to do anything > before T'ksgiving.  After all, the reality we're addressing is an impending > massive humanitarian crisis.  Jeeeeeeezus.  THEY need a breather???? What about a face-to-face meeting with some alders?  I really think we could sway some people by assuaging their fears about our motives and tactics.  I for one am empathetic with their trepidation, but X is right that there are other, more pressing considerations. Barbara, you've been amazingly helpful as a liason--what do you think about setting up an informal chat with them?  I'll spring for coffee for all at the bistro of their choice... > I don't know anything about resolutions introduced as a communication w/out > any alder sponsors, but it seems to me that doing that with our "weaker", > more likely to pass resolution will flag it as unacceptable to the council. > If I were a middle of the road alder and saw that none of the PD alders had > signed on, I sure as heck wouldn't vote for it.  (But I think it'd be fine > to introduce the "stronger" one like that, if we do still decide to > introduce it.) > > So, I guess - with the current info we have - I feel ambivalent about the > "stronger" resolution.  If it will help the "weaker" one pass to introduce > it - by communication or by an alder - then I say we go for it.  But the > people we need to talk to for this analysis are the PD alders who are > balking at the "weaker" one. The danger we face with this particular approach (strong first) is that we seem to be scaring people away right off.  It's almost the right tactic, but perhaps we're just misplacing our emphasis. Perhaps we should really be leading with the weaker version, then in debate pushing for more.  I think we agree on the need to concentrate on getting the alders to understand the basic urgency of the humanitarian situation. Once there, we may be able to convince more people that prioritization of the humanitarian situation leads one logically to the condemnation of the current war.
