A Daily Online Resource on the War >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.
