Subject: Wanted:  Peacenet brochure
X-Mailer: Elm [version 1.5]
Status: RO

To Whom It May Concern:

I'm responding to your offer of a "Peacenet brochure", mentioned
in the signature of one of your alt.activism articles.  


To introduce myself, I'm a member of a local fledgling group of peace 
activists:  Aquidneck Islanders For Peace.  The group formed just two
weeks before the war broke, and we're made up of people of many 
different ages and backgrounds in the community:  military wives, 
Vietnam veterans, religious leaders, grandparents, students, liberals,
and conservatives.  None of us has much experience in speaking out 
against government policy, and we've had to shift objectives from
pro-peace to anti-war.  We want to do something as a group, but we're 
confused.

We decided to begin by educating ourselves and our community on how to
protest effectively and how to sort out the complicated details of a 
U.S. foreign policy run amok.  

I'm searching for information about the fundamentals of non-violent 
protest and civil disobedience, examples of successful grass roots 
organizations, examples of how to hold a teach-in, how to line up 
speakers to broaden the knowledge and awareness of the community, 
and how to run such an organization on shoe-string budget.

Would you send me a copy of your Peacenet brochure?

Thank you.
