Neighborhood Groups

Interest/Working Groups

Organizations

If you're the contact person listed here, you'll likely get emails and phone calls from people in your area who want to get involved in peace organizing. Your most important responsibility is to respond to them in a timely way and help them get involved!

It's also helpful if you're willing to keep your group's event list and 'update' up to date. The 'update' is the short 2-3 sentences that you see under some neighborhoods in the list - if you're the contact person and you have a * by your name, you can write that info by clicking on 'write update'.

There's an email listserve for coordinating the work of neighborhood groups - if you're a contact person, it would be a good idea to join that list. The list address is snow-groups@lists.riseup.net, to join send an email to snow-groups-subscribe@lists.riseup.net.

Anyone can add events to the event list, though if you are not an edit-enabled contact person your events will need to be approved by SNOW staff before posting. If you're organizing an event in your area, add it to the event listings!

If you want to get an email address @snowcoalition.org (like ballard@snowcoalition.org) to use for your group, or set up an email mailing list (where members of your group can send emails to the whole group by sending to an address like snow-lakeforestpark@lists.riseup.net, and members can individually choose to subscribe or unsubscribe themselves from the list), or if your group would like space on our website (you'll need to build your own pages, we can just offer you hosting for it), contact us and we'll get it set up for you.

Just click on the name of the neighborhood group or organization and you'll be taken to their event listing.

If you're willing to be a contact in your neighborhood, go right ahead and add your info to the list. If you're not ready to do that, but you know somebody in your area who might be (or who already is acting as contact but isn't on this list), ask them to come to the site and add their info so people can find your group!

If you are an independent organization that predates SNOW, you need to join SNOW and affirm the Points of Agreement before being listed on this page. Please contact join@snowcoalition.org to become a member of the SNOW coalition.

To change or delete the info for a listed contact person, click on their name (you will need to know the password for that contact in order to modify it).

Contacts listed with a * before their names are able to modify the informational blurb for that neighborhood - email them if you'd like to see something mentioned that isn't. If they don't respond, or if there isn't anyone in your neighborhood with a * by their name, email us and we'll enable you to update your neighborhood's info.

This is also the place to list contacts for working groups centered around a common interest or identity (ie veterans, artists, students), not necessarily geographical location. If you'd like to start up a peace group around some common identity, just add yourself and use the area of interest as the "neighborhood name."
