The problem is that in this case, not doing anything actually ends up
amounting to doing something significant.
Crossing a picket line isn't a neutral non-act, but rather a
significant action.
This isn't to imply that Coho US didn't do anything. It's just making
the point that in a politicized situation, both doing X
and not doing X are political actions. Racheli. On Jun 6, 2011, at 1:27 PM, Doug Chamberlin wrote:

However, I don't think that automatically makes me unsympathetic or automatically makes me see the issue as unimportant. I actually see the issue as VERY important. But I also separate thatview from my decision to act. I do that because I see many, many issuesas important and I have to select from them all which ones I actively support. So please forgive me if this particular issue does not rise high enough on my personal list of causes. Looking at Coho in general and the US organization specifically, Iwonder if this issue rises close enough to the top of the organization's list of issues for the organization to act on it. From the discussion so far I would say probably not. At least my sense is that we are not closeto consensus.
