This message is going out to people that we know of that may be interested in a new ACT UP mailing list. The list has just been created, and the address is: act-up@priapus.boston.ma.us The administrator is Henry Mensch, reachable at: act-up-request@priapus.boston.ma.us Please send to him requests to be added or deleted from the list. This list was created by three members of ACT UP/Boston. We think that computer networking could be an excellent way to share our ideas and experiences related to activism, to alert each other to ongoing and upcoming campaigns, and possibly to discuss more abstract issues. Because there are other lists existing for the purpose, this list is not intended for general discussion of gay issues. We want the to be welcoming to people of all sexual orientations and preferences. While the list is not moderated, we will do what we can to minimize flames: please, *no personal attacks*! This message is going out to this small group in order to get feedback and to iron out kinks in the mailer. We plan to make a wider announcement to potentially interested mailing lists and newsgroups once the school year has started. In the meantime, feel free to inform your activist friends! Once again, that address is: act-up@priapus.boston.ma.us (for submissions) act-up-request@priapus.boston.ma.us (administration) -Liz, Lenard, and Henry.
