Subject: Grad Organizing

*
*Hi,
*
*My name is Harel Barzilai, co-founder and co-moderator of the ACTIV-L
*activists mailing list and of UseNet's "misc.activism.progressive" (MAP)
*
*Actually I've emailed before with everyone on this list except Fonse
*Haffmans and Laurine Harrison. Since that time, I've succeeded in my
*then-stated goal -- in part -- in getting the GAO or Cornell's
*Graduate Advocacy Organization online (see below).
*
*I would like your permission to put your name on a mailing list
*(actually, not a mailing list but an "alias" based at IGC (IGC runs
*PeaceNet and EcoNet) such as the "[e-mail]" they have set up),
*called something like "[e-mail]" or
*"[e-mail]" ; I will also ask LaborNet [Independent with but
*now officially affiliated with IGC] to create a conference [IGC'speak
*for what is called "newsgroup" on the UseNet] which is two-way-linked
*to this list of people. (Actually if you don't mind, and email
*logistics being what they are, I will probably just add everyone and
*one can email me to have their names removed)
*
*I hope the list/conference can be used to network grads trying to
*unionize with others in the same boat (or as in rare places like
*Michigan, who have already succeeded in unionizing, although whose
*struggles are of course far from over). Advice, info, resources, etc,
*could be shared.
*
*Also an online presence would have a two-way interaction with online
*activist hotbeds (-: like ACTIV-L/MAP, namely, publications like the
*GAO's _Grad Grind_ I hope to get online and post, as well as their
*online presence encouraging activism on this matter elsewhere; on the
*other hand, readers of ACTIV-L/MAP (or LaborNet, or alt.activism, etc)
*would contribute to our groups by means of volunteers (in the general
*sense, including not only recruiting more activists, but also getting
*informational help from them, even money, and any other "resources")
*
*Well, those are my plans...looking forward to your input and
*participation. The only other item I can think of is to post to
*ACTIV-L/MAP seeking others interested, hopefully enlarging our list of
*email addresses of grad activist contacts.
*
*Regards,
*
*Harel Barzilai

        not contacted him in a bit of time.  (he is a bit busy but he
        might be able to get a bit of help from MAP and give a little

        Communications, a nonprofit project of the Tides Foundation.
