After moving to Los Angeles in 1981, Warren "Bud" Day and Carol Thompson founded the Southern Africa Resource Project (SARP) in response to the need for dissemination of materials about Southern Africa in Southern California. SARP's focus was on providing resources and thus it only staged events in coalition with other anti-apartheid organizations in Los Angeles. SARP supplied organizations in Southern California with campaign materials from national offices, press clips, lists of available films and books, media contact lists and locally written analyses. Members of SARP tabled at innumerable activist events, including those for Central America, and wrote many letters to the editors of local newspapers about Southern African issues. SARP worked with independent book stores to stock progressive books on Southern Africa. Responding to the need for information about anti-apartheid activities and U.S. policy in Africa, from 1981-1984, SARP collected and copied various information materials to send to comrades in Southern Africa, mainly Mozambique, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. In exchange, SARP received information from NGOs and others, especially Mozambique Information Agency (AIM). (Source: Carol Thompson).
