Fw: Why I'm leaving the NY Coalition for Peace and Justice

[Thomas Seay]

<<In my personal survey of my friends and
neighbors who are of color they did not agree that not
addressing the issue of bringing those who attacked
the WTC to justice should breakdown on racial lines.
Of the dozen people of color I asked about the issue,
not one felt that there should not be a strong
position to bring the perpetrators to some kind of
justice. And they all oppose the war.>>

If I understand correctly, the above is one of the
main reasons that this activist believes is
responsible for the inability of the movement to grow
and reach out to others beyond the usual cast of
characters present at every political event.

If that is so, I totally agree with her.  A movement
needs to be built apart from the groups like the IAC
(and others) who are strangling the movement because
they refuse to condemn the terrorist actions.
