<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Dear friends,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Unfortunately, I will not be in NYC on Sep. 8,
since I had previous commitments that I could not change. I will arrive
on the 13th and will participate in the Open UN, on the panel: From the MDGs
to the Reform of the UN. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I hope I will enter in immediate contact with you
all, and to get to know the strategies you will be using to influence the
Summit. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am, as most of you probably are, outraged and
atonished of the infinite arrogance of the US government, and I hope to
reflect that in my intervention as well. I have read carefully all hearing
documents and many others, and I am finding a connection with many of them,
particularly the ones of the feminist networks, which are good, radical and
insightful. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Soon, I will be sending you an outline of the
main ideas of my intervention, so that you can send me suggestions</FONT><FONT
face=Arial size=2>. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Warmly,</FONT></DIV>
