Qu�: El 11M ha abierto una nueva etapa en la Historia de Espa�a, como el 11S en la de Estados Unidos.

El tema que cada grupo juzgue m�s interesante en su comunidad. D�nde: Las bibliotecas son lugares a defender. Habla con la biblioteca o centro social de tu barrio, organiza all� un debate y agr�galo a la red de actos y convocatorias. apoya + organiza + p�salo: proyecto septiembre apoya la iniciativa, organiza un debate en la biblioteca de tu barrio, une tu bit�cora, tu p�gina personal o la de tu colectivo a la red de personas y colectivos que apoyan esta iniciativa, coloca este banner d�ndonos enlace...

but mailman does not retain your list settings, so some of you will have to login at http://listserv.aoir.org/listinfo.cgi/air-l-aoir.org and reset your digest settings. you will also have to retreive your list password to do that, you can use the same page. you put in whatever email address you initially receive this email from in the bottom-most part of that form, and you should be able to retrieve your new password from this new system, and reset your settings to your preferences. but other than that, things seem to be working.....
