I received this recently and thought it might be of interest.

>>Message to AAAS Section members from Judith S. Weis, retiring
>>chair of Section G and President-elect of AIBS:
>>
>>Dear Colleague:
>>
>>AIBS is undertaking a project to support the teaching of evolution
>>in the schools and combat efforts to teach creationism in science
>>classes.
>>
>>AAAS and AIBS have both been very concerned about inroads
>>made by creationists in the schools. Regarding the events in
>>Kansas last year, the scientists and teachers there became well
>>organized to reverse that policy, but not until after the policy was
>>adopted.
>>
>>Since this is an issue that will not go away, we should be well
>>organized in other states in order to prevent such efforts from
>>undermining the success of science teaching.
>>
>>The project involves the setting up of email listservs in each state,
>>so that scientists, teachers, and other concerned people can be in
>>touch with each other. The listservs can function as support groups
>>for teachers trying to teach evolution in a hostile atmosphere. They
>>can also function for rapid communications when there are policies
>>being contemplated by school boards or state legislatures that
>>require input such as letters or attendance/testifying at hearings.
>>We are working with the National Center for Science Education on
>>this. What we need first is to have a person in each state volunteer
>>to be the list manager for that state. There are already list
>>managers for many states. Their names and email addresses appear
>>below. Some of these have already set up their listservs, and the
>>address to write to and message to send in order to subscribe are
>>provided for people who wish to subscribe. If your state has a
>>contact person, but no list name, please write and encourage them
>>to get their listserv set up. If your state does not appear at all, that
>>means no one has yet volunteered to run the listserv. Usually staff
>>at the computer center should know how to set up listservs, and the
>>time commitment should not be great, unless there is some urgent
>>issue being debated. Please get in touch with Dr. Judith Weis
>>(jweis@andromeda.rutgers.edu) if you are willing to do this for
>>your state.
