I recall reading that. It seemed to me at the time susceptible to e.g. Adolph Reed’s critique:
<http://bennorton.com/adolph-reed-identity-politics-is-neoliberalism/ <http://bennorton.com/adolph-reed-identity-politics-is-neoliberalism/>>.
AWARE was founded to foster local opposition to US war-making and racism - and, by implication, capitalism, the source of both.
We should be willing to cooperate with others who have effective ways to do that as well.
But as Reed explains, identity politics is a defense of capitalism - and therefore at best only accidentally useful in an anti-war anti-racism effort.
