Welcome
To The New PRC Website Location!
Jan 4, 2008
Dear PRC
Supporters,
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
