Issue-Oriented Committees on Iraq

[Rania Masri <rrmasri@DELETETHISunity.ncsu.edu>]

Dear all,

On August 6, numerous anti-sanctions activists and organizers met in DC
for a few hours to discuss numerous ideas.  The idea of creating
issue-oriented committees via e-groups was proposed.  Most (if not all) of
these issues are not specific to the US, so please consider joining.

The purpose of these issue-oriented committees is to focus our energies on
specific angles of this anti-sanctions struggle so that we can be most
effective. The strength and success of these committees depends upon the
energy of their membership, so please choose the issues that most interest
you from the list below, and go from there.

Two of these egroups had already been set up (the national-iraq-network
and the 16beaver). The rest were set up Monday morning (August 7).

Please note that there are several of these groups that lack a moderator.  
If interested in propelling discussion on the topics media work, lobbying,
and organizing speakers tours, please e-mail me at rmasri@ncsu.edu
