>Dear Friends, 
>
>Now that George Bush has plunged us into war, we face a new chapter in 
>our struggle for peace and justice. In the weeks ahead, we will need to 
>keep up with the onslaught of terrible news. We will need to be smart 
>and effective in de-coding the mainstream media’s version of the war and 
>not become overwhelmed by the sheer quantity of reports and urgent 
>messages flooding our e-mail boxes. We will need to be engaged with 
>people in our communities who are ambivalent or even supportive of the 
>war. And we will need to work to sustain our own humanity and strengthen 
>our capacities to act for peace. 
>
>To help us all meet these challenges, MADRE has launched a special 
>section of our website, called the MADRE Monitor (www.madre.org). This 
>page will be updated everyday. It will have three sections: 
>
>Breaking News and Analyses: Updated daily, a maximum of three “best of” 
>postings from the alternative media. 
>
>Get Involved: A resource for action, including a “find a demonstration 
>near you” button, anti-war posters to download and links to other peace 
>organizations. 
>
>Every Child Has a Name: The latest on MADRE’s campaign to bring 
>emergency support to women and families in Iraq, raise public awareness 
>in the US and work in the international arena to protect human rights.
>
>As always, MADRE’s response to this war is part of our overall efforts 
>in partnership with women around the world who are saying No to Bush’s 
>war, No to a world of violence and greed and who are working to build 
>peaceful alternatives. Thank you for continuing to support this critical 
>work. 
>
>Yours,
