[PEN-L:1860] NEW: BRC-ALL: Black Radical Congress Mailing List

[Art McGee <amcgee@xxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

The general international mailing list of the Black Radical Congress (BRC)
is now operational. The name of the list is BRC-ALL, and it is open to all
BRC members and our allies (that includes black Leftists, Nationalists,
Feminists, LGBTs, Pan-Africanists, Socialists, Progressives, and others
who aren't specifically BRC members, but who basically agree with our
goals and principles).

The list will function as the primary means of disseminating official BRC
related information, and for discussing the current and future direction
of the organization.

To make sure that everyone is on the same page, I need to clear up a
critical and common misconception. The Black Radical Congress was not the
one-time meeting that occurred on June 19th, 1998 in Chicago, IL, USA, nor
is it simply a planning group for the upcoming conference scheduled for
the same date in the year 2000.

The Black Radical Congress is no less than the organizational
manifestation of the re-emergence and renaissance of the Black Left.

It's purpose is not to replace the work that Black people are already
doing as individuals or in other organizations (although it does have it's
own role to play), but rather, to serve as an expansive umbrella
organization of unity, under which we can better fight for the unique
needs of the masses of Black people.

Many people who previously expressed interest in the BRC have already been
subscribed to the list, but if you haven't (you would have received a
notice via email), you can subscribe by sending an email message to:

majordomo@xxxxxxx

With the two line command in the body of the message that says:

subscribe brc-all
end

If the traffic on the list ever gets too heavy for you, you can switch
over to the digest version by sending these commands to the same address:

subscribe brc-all-digest
unsubscribe brc-all
end

Information regarding the Black Radical Congress (BRC), it's goals, and
the guiding "Principles of Unity" can always be found on the web site:

I'm the primary administrator of the BRC-ALL mailing list and a member of
the BRC's National Cyber-Organizing Committee, so if you have any
questions, please let me know.

Take care.


Art McGee
