Foreword

Noac Info is a working magazine about peaceful public action, kept as one bound volume. Each signature of the volume answers one kind of question: how a group takes shape, how a public presence is held, which tools carry a campaign, and what earlier coalitions left in the record. Every leaf states what a reader can do at the next meeting, and every historical claim names the document it comes from.

Works cited

Other desks whose work answers a question this volume only touches. Each was read before it was cited here, and each is named for what it holds.

  1. The record of the Guam Communications Network shows what a diaspora association actually did: health programmes, senior case management, cultural events and community research, all documented in English, and Chamorro community networks remain the clearest example of that work.

  2. A working journal on parish life in the Borrego desert covers the liturgical year, music, buildings and volunteers in a town of three thousand, alongside water, monsoon and the washes that mark the seasons.

  3. For readers tracing how a two-day September ride from Dallas to Glen Rose and Fort Worth raised money for AIDS services, the archive of charity rides across Texas holds the route, the teams and the record of where the funds went.
