-----Original Message----- >From : Jason Travis <jason_travis@hotmail.com> To : soc-casi@lists.cam.ac.uk Date : 02 February 2000 16:16:29 Subject : no subject > Message from Greater Manchester Coalition Against sanctions & Bombing of Iraq > >As an urgent priority we are attempting to make links with all groups and >individuals who wish to come to be part of a national network of campaigners >against war on Iraq- taking on the issues of bombing and sanctions as an act >of war. On the 5th Feb, Market St, Manchester, we will be handing out >leaflets for the Feb 16th Iraqi Speaker meeting, report back from the >recent Human Relief Foundation visit to Iraq, Friends Meeting House, >Manchester; on the 12th some will be encouraging people to send postcards as >part of the Voices action; on March 18th there will be a rally in >Manchester; and on April 8th a teach-in on Iraq at the Friends', Manchester. > Other events as yet not given a date are various actions around army >recruitment offices to disrupt their recruitment and publicise the war on >Iraq and either a national or regional conference to make contacts with all >anti-war groups around the country and discuss the possibility of founding >a national Campaign against War in the Gulf, to unite people who are opposed >to this war and who do not wish to see sanctions as a separate issue from >the imperialist attacks on Iraq. We wish to work with people in as open, >friendly and democratic manner as possible. We believe the attempt to >de-link sanctions from bombing or to support some sanctions is tremendously >dangerous to the movement and to the Iraqi people. One final aim, crucial >we feel to this movement, is to make links with Iraqis, both in terms of >visits such as the Sheffield delegation, Human Relief Foundation or Voices >in the Wilderness sanction busting, and politically with groups such as the >Iraqi CP or other Iraqi organisations. Jason- for more information please >phone 01618817774 > > >In addition, I am publishing a National Newsletter, as agreed at the >meeting. The first eight articles to reach me by Wed 9-2 will be printed >(no more than a half page of A4 please) and please also send any >announcements of events, demos etc. > > > > >______________________________________________________ >Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com > > >-- >----------------------------------------------------------------------- >This is a discussion list run by the Campaign Against Sanctions on Iraq >For removal from list, email soc-casi-discuss-request@lists.cam.ac.uk >Full archive and list instructions are available from the CASI website: >http://welcome.to/casi > --------------------------------------------------------------- From yourname@big-up.co.uk to yourname@keepitsafe.co.uk Put some Ali G force into your email now - only from http://www.funmail.co.uk
