Subscribe to Anti-Corporate / Democracy in Education Email Lists

Corporate Accountability Project and the 180/Movement for Democracy and Education run a series of email mailing lists (formerly devoted to organized around the Democracy Teach-Ins, which were a precursor to the formation of 180/MDE). Currently there are several hundred students, educators, and community activists across North America and around the world participating in the discussions.

Below are descriptions of each list along with a form to subscribe right now through this website. Please don't neglect to read the posting guidelines if you plan to subscribe to the 180-DISCUSS or CORPORATIONS lists.

CORPORATIONS: This list is for anti-corporate networking and for announcements and discussion pertaining to anti-corporate organizing. It is not restricted specifically to 180/MDE or to the educational system. Expect about 5-8 messages a week.

180-DISCUSS: This list is a forum for sharing information about corporatization of education and how to democratize and de-corporatize the educational system. Expect about 5-8 messages a week.

180-UPDATE: This is a low volume list for periodical announcements and updates relating to 180/MDE.

Guidelines for Posting Messages to the Lists:

The 180-DISCUSS and CORPORATIONS lists are set up so that hitting reply will send your message only to the person whose message you're responding to. If your response is something appropriate for the whole list and you want the whole list to see it, you must change the "To:" line of the header appropriately.

Messages are inappropriate for these lists if they are...

dated (no longer relevant).
shameless self-promotions or fund-raising gimmicks.
personal attacks (it is o.k. to criticize someone's ideas, but not to call the person stupid).
too long (anything over 10K should be checked to see if it needs to be that long). Try to summarize articles or refer people to a website for more details on an issue. Posted material should be as short and to-the-point as possible.
part of an endless back and forth argument that has grown tired.
multiple postings in a short period of time (more than 3-4 per week).
"virus" warnings

Avoid posting messages with over a dozen recipients listed in the header. Consider doing such mass mailings using the "Bcc:" (blind carbon copy) line or send your posting in a separate message, if needed.

Avoid excessive quoting (quotes are the text preceded by '>' symbols that appears in your message when you reply to someone). If you must send a reply message to the whole list in order to correct something, please try to quote selective parts of a message you're responding to, when such quotes are necessary to put your response in context.
