All application >information can be found at >http://www.iacenter.org/iraqchallenge/infojan01.htm*** > >Dear friend, > >We are at a breakthrough moment. We have been campaigning >against sanctions since Day One a decade ago. For the last three >years, however, it has been our belief that the genocidal sanctions >against Iraq will be ended not by a UN Security Council decree, but by >the actions of people around the world. That is why we decided to >launch the Iraq Sanctions Challenge three years ago and join with >others around the world who did the same. We invite you to join us in >our fourth Challenge, which is about to take place. > >This campaign is bearing fruit. In the last two months flights from more >than thirty countries have flown to Baghdad in defiance of the sanctions >and in opposition to the criminal "no-fly zone" established by the United >States and Britain. The people of the world are beginning to unite in >opposition to U.S. bullying on this issue. > >The people can and will be the ones to end the sanctions that kill 8,000 >Iraqis this month and every month. We invite you to join us again, >either as a delegate or as a supporter, in the Iraq Sanctions Challenge >IV this January 12-19, 2001. > >We are excited to announce that we are planning to fly to Baghdad >rather than go by bus from Amman, as we have in the past. The >Challenge is timed to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the >bombing war on January 16. The delegation will again be led by former >U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark. > >As we have in the past, we will bring millions of dollars worth of >medicine to Iraq. Your generous donation will purchase the medicines >that will save thousands of lives in Iraq. A flow of medicine into Iraq not >only saves Iraqi children; it is a powerful reminder that only the lifting >of sanctions will end this unnecessary suffering. In this way we >combine humanitarian relief with political action. > >We urge you to consider becoming a part of the Iraq Sanctions >Challenge either by joining the delegation or by making a generous >financial contribution to the purchase of medicine. Also, please >consider organizing supporters to hold press conferences, video >showings, house meetings and other activities in January. > >By joining this effort, you can help end the sanctions and the bombing. > >Thank you. >Sara Flounders Brian Becker, >Co-Directors, International Action Center > >TOGETHER WE CAN END THE SANCTIONS! >Become part of this Challenge to Genocide > >JOIN THE IRAQ SANCTIONS CHALLENGE >Travel to Iraq with the delegation >Recruit delegation participants >Sponsor a delegation participant >Raise funds for medicine >Publicize the Challenge >Set up an Organizing Center >Join the Emergency Response Network > >IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO TRAVEL TO IRAQ WITH THE IRAQ >SANCTIONS CHALLENGE IV IN JANUARY 12-19, 2001, go to >http://www.iacenter.org/iraqchallenge/infojan01.htm for detailed >information.
