PRC Website Moved To IDF Site

A message for the PRC:

Happy New Year's!

We want to inform you of some changes that will be occurring to the PRC web site, email, and list serves. As you may know, the Progressive Resource/Action Cooperative (PRC) is currently not active. As part of this, we will be moving the PRC web site to the Illinois Disciples Foundation web site, where the PRC is a program. The Illinois Disciples Foundation is a peace with justice campus ministry and non-profit organization located on the University of Illinois campus. For more information on the IDF, please visit http://www.prairienet.org/idf.

You can find the new PRC site at:
http://www.prairienet.org/idf/prcweb/index.html

Please pardon our dust as we continue to move over all of the files as it has not been completed yet.

We will also no longer be using this list serve (prc-l@prairienet.org) for updates and announcements. If you are interested in getting similar emails, you can subscribe to the IDF email announcement list. It is a low-traffic list, much like this one. You can subscribe to this at:
1) http://www.prairienet.org/idf/idfmaillist.html
2) https://mail.prairienet.org/mailman/listinfo/idf-l

Finally, the PRC email account (prc@prairienet.org) will no longer be active. If you would like to contact us in regards to the PRC, please send your correspondence to idf@prairienet.org.

We expect the accounts to be deactivated in the next two weeks.

In the last year, we have seen great social justice victories with the removal of "Chief Illiniwek" from the University of Illinois. And yet we have seen great struggles arise and flourish that require our constant attention and activity with the U.S.-led war in Iraq, amongst other issues.

As Howard Zinn wrote, "If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory."

We call on you to carry on our work for social justice and we thank you for all of your support!

In solidarity,

The PRC
