Hello!
It is with great excitement that I am posting this message. I have been
a member of this listserv since its inception, and have greatly enjoyed
the discussions that have taken place on this listserv. 
As you know, on November 6th this listserv will be closed, and a new
list will be formed out of a merger between the women and literacy list
and this poverty race list. The new list will be facilitated by me.
If you are interested in joining the new list, you will need to
subscribe to it (NIFL will be posting instructions in the next few
days). I imagine that some of you may want to think about this, and I
wanted to give you an opportunity to ask me any questions or share your
concerns while this list is still running. 
I have been the women and literacy listserv facilitator since it
started in 1999. I value community, respect, and safety in postings. I
see the new list as continuing to discuss issues separately (i.e., focus
only on race, or only poverty, or only women), as well as intersections
between some or all. Donna (facilitator of this list) and I have been in
communication about the merger. I appreciate all that she has done on
this list and have learned from her. I value all the advice and
suggestions that she shares, and I know that she will continue to be
available for support, as we all get to know each other.
Please feel free to post to this listserv any questions/concerns that
you have for me regarding the new list. If you prefer, you can also
email me privately at: dgreenberg at gsu.edu
