Peace, NOT War!

pstrong Crisis dialogues from grassroots community based organizations, community leaders, conscious adults and youth, artists and folk on the crisis of September 11, 2001.br / /strong/p pDIV align="left" TABLE cellpadding="5"TR VALIGN="TOP"TDIMG SRC= "../sites/default/files/arch_img/476/photo_2_supplement.jpg" //td/trTR VALIGN="TOP"TD/td/trTR VALIGN="TOP"TDTR VALIGN="TOP"TD pby PNN Staff/p pEditor’s Note: The mainstream media promotes WAR through its standard, yellow journalism process—calling for WAR before BUSH even called for it, promoting the amorphous notion of WAR on a vaguely defined “enemy”. With this column we hope to honor the lives lost and to promote understanding and empathy for all people in an attempt to deconstruct the notion of PEACE in the 21st Century. We hope to accomplish this through the sharing of ideas, information and action from a broad range of grassroots organizations, artists and citizens. To participate in the community dialogue, submit your words, opinions and ideas via email to a href="mailto:poormag@sirius.com"poormag@sirius.com/a./p p We are also updating our bCalendar for Conscious Citizens/b daily to include all peace rallys, actions and events related to the Crisis. To submit information for publication please email or fax information to POOR at least one week before the event./p pFinally, the writers and artists of POOR Magazine, as very poor adults and youth, are always fighting our own personal, family, and community based battles just to stay alive and housed, attain healthcare, food, and basic services—one of our ways of surviving these assaults is to heal, grieve, and resist through the creation of words and images, poetry, and art as well as journalism, so we will be publishing a series of poetry, entitled Peace NOT War!! available on the Po' Poets Project page. To submit poetry or art for publication, please email us your words and/or images to:tiny@poormagazine.orgbr / /p/td/tr/td/tr/table/div/p
