<BR><BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE style="BORDER-LEFT: #0000ff 2px solid; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px">MONDAY AT NOON (ALL TIME ZONES) - This is the
<BR>> tentatively scheduled
<BR>> time
<BR>> for a show of support on campuses nationwide.
<BR>>
<BR>> In an effort to make our voices heard, students on all
<BR>> college
<BR>> campuses are encouraged to organize rallies, vigils,
<BR>> forums, or any
<BR>> other gatherings you feel are appropriate to your own
<BR>> community. This
<BR>> is
<BR>> intended to be a show of solidarity and support for
<BR>> peace and non
<BR>> violence in the wake of the tragedy that occured on
<BR>> Tuesday.
<BR>>
<BR>> The three points of focus for this movement are:
<BR>>
<BR>> 1. COMMITMENT TO PEACE AND JUSTICE. Opposition to all
<BR>> acts of violent
<BR>> aggression by individuals and states. Recognition that
<BR>> a violent
<BR>> response
<BR>> by the United States to these violent acts will likely
<BR>> result in more
<BR>> deaths of innocent people in other parts of the world
<BR>> and may provoke
<BR>> further acts of aggression by US adversaries.
<BR>>
<BR>> 2. OPPOSITION TO BACKLASH AGAINST ANY PEOPLES,
<BR>> including Arab-
<BR>> Americans and Muslims, because of the presumed ethnic
<BR>> identity of those
<BR>> responsible
<BR>> for today's act of aggression.
<BR>>
<BR>> 3. OPPOSITION TO CASTING BLAME or pointing fingers in
<BR>> a time of crisis,
<BR>> and instead emphasizing careful consideration for
<BR>> underlying political
<BR>> and
<BR>> economic forces behind these and other acts of
<BR>> aggression.
<BR>>
<BR>> Contact student organizations on your campus about
<BR>> organizing
<BR>> events, or organize your own, no matter how small. Get
<BR>> in touch with
<BR>> the
<BR>> media. Spread the word on your campus and to other
<BR>> campuses worldwide.
<BR>> At a time when the leaders of our country and many
<BR>> citizens are calling
<BR>> for vengeance, it is of the utmost importance that
<BR>> those who support
<BR>> peace make themselves heard. We CAN make a difference!
<BR>>
<BR>>
<BR>> ~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~+~
<BR>> Please forward this to anyone who you think would help
<BR>> the campus
<BR>> actions.
<BR>>
<BR>> Monday: A day of action to seek world peace.
<BR>>
<BR>> In the wake of the atrocities committed against
<BR>> humanity this week, we
<BR>> now
<BR>> need
<BR>> to work more than ever for peace. The killing of
<BR>> innocents and hatred
<BR>> can
<BR>> not be
<BR>> acceptable by a just society. In the wake of the
<BR>> violence I have heard
<BR>> politicians
<BR>> and average citizens speak in the rhetoric of war.
<BR>> This will not bring
<BR>> peace.
<BR>> Territorial reprisals which kill more innocent people
<BR>> are not an
<BR>> appropriate
<BR>> moral
<BR>> response, yet, from the media portrait, it seems that
<BR>> the united states
<BR>> is
<BR>> gearing up
<BR>> for war. I think it is important that the voice of
<BR>> peace be heard
<BR>> above the
<BR>> shouts
<BR>> for revenge.
<BR>>
<BR>> To that end, there is a nation wide campus response
<BR>> brewing in order to
<BR>> show
<BR>> that there are other options to retaliatory killings
<BR>> which will not
<BR>> make us
<BR>> any better
<BR>> than the terrorists. Monday, at around noontime, each
<BR>> and every campus
<BR>> in
<BR>> America
<BR>> must do something to show that the answer to violence
<BR>> is not more
<BR>> violence.
<BR>> Connect to whatever massive movement is happening on
<BR>> your campus, and
<BR>> if
<BR>> nothing
<BR>> is happening, start something. Keep your eyes and
<BR>> ears pealed for
<BR>> updates.
<BR>> The
<BR>> youth of America can choose what kind of country we
<BR>> want to inherit,
<BR>> and my
<BR>> choice
<BR>> is a country which does not take the law into its own
<BR>> hands. I urge
<BR>> that
<BR>> everyone
<BR>> write to their senators to express their support for a
<BR>> peaceful
<BR>> investigation and trial.
<BR>>
<BR>> In addition to peace abroad, I also want to advocate
<BR>> for peace at home.
<BR>> In
<BR>> the
<BR>> wake of pearl harbor we learned that nationalism and
<BR>> racism can combine
<BR>> to
<BR>> enable
<BR>> freedom loving Americans to support concentration
<BR>> camps. I urge
<BR>> everyone
<BR>> not to
<BR>> misplace their anger at unknown terrorists onto Arabs
<BR>> and Arabic
<BR>> Americans.
<BR>> Everyone
<BR>> of us is seen as a stranger somewhere, and we all have
<BR>> the power to
<BR>> make the
<BR>> whole
<BR>> world home. Think before you speak about the
<BR>> character of any
<BR>> nationalist
<BR>> project,
<BR>> American, Arabic, or otherwise.

Dear all,
Sitting here in Brookline, I feel outraged and saddened by both the tradegy and the prospect of war and feel the urgency to connect myself with a greater movement that isn't just a "war against terrorism" but a true examination of ALL irrarational acts of violence worldwide, including those supported by developed nations. Please spread the word about nation-wide campus protests on Monday. College is an especially great place to mobilize, so take action however you deem appropriate! My love to all.
love, Deborah
>---------------------------------------------------------------------
> Hi guys,
>
> Please pass this on to AS MANY college students as you
> know. A bunch of people here at Wes are spending today getting in touch with the leaders of different student groups on campuses across the
> country, but they can't do it alone . . . we're relying on everyone else to keep spreading the word to all their friends, and then friends of those friends,etc. We're organizing a big rally here on Monday, and hoping to get as many colleges as we can across the nation to do so as well - with media attention - to get the word out that, unlike everyone they've been interviewing on
> CNN and in the papers, there are some Americans who support peace and not violent retaliation, justice and not revenge, as a course of
> action. Send this message to friends at your school and other schools,to leaders of any student organizations, to listservs, to people you know will take the initiative to organize something if you don't feel comfortable doing it yourselves. As someone at the meeting last night pointed out, "We have to speak our truth, and we have to keep speaking it no matter what happens." Speak your truth! Pass this message on! Monday at noon!
