There is a lot goint on tight now: the >pro-sanctions letter in Congress, a new House bill that would allow >humanitarian aid to Iraq, and numerous high profile editorials and news >programs focusing on the sanctions. > >I want to alert you to an important day of action coming up in April for >and by students who wish to lift the sanctions. > >************************************************************************ > >On April 14, 2000, the Student Peace Action Network is sponsoring a >National Student Day of Action to Lift the Economic Sanctions on Iraq. >************************************************************************ > >THE ACTION: Students will be gathering at post offices nationwide on April >14 to protest the sanctions by sending food, medical and school supplies >to Iraq. US Postal Regulations prohibit the transfer (mail) of anything of >value and exceeding 12 ounces to Iraq. By attempting to send your package >to Iraq, you will be committing an act of civil disobedience and educating >others about the brutal sanctions on Iraq. > >We have chosen this day because of its proximity to tax-day, April 15 - a >day when many American citizens will be mailing their tax returns. This >is our chance to describe to them and to the media the conditions in Iraq >and US complicity for the deaths of 5,000 to 6,000 people each month. > >CAMPAIGN TO END THE SANCTIONS AGAINST IRAQ > >When U.S. Secretary of State Madeline Albright was asked about the loss of >innocent lives caused by the economic sanctions against Iraq, she replied, >"We think the price is worth it." > >Secretary Albright is wrong. Opposition to Saddam Hussein and his regime >does not give the United States the right to starve Iraq's population. >Clearly, the sanctions against Iraq are both politically ineffective and >morally wrong. > >We are mobilizing concerned student and youth activists to hold the U.S. >government accountable for the unjustified and unnecessary loss of Iraqi >lives and to end these economic sanctions! > >PLEASE ENDORSE OUR ACTION! > >The Student Peace Action Network invites you to endorse our National >Student Day of Action to Lift the Sanctions on Iraq. If you send us your >support by Friday, March 17, we can be sure to include your organization's >name on our organizing packet and flyer. We are hoping to generate good >media attention to this national coordinated student effort for justice >and peace. > >Spread the word!
