The mailing urges Americans to support those resisting the South African government in the face of increased repression, including bannings and detentions of hundreds of South Africans and Namibians, the closure of the two major Black newspapers, and outlawing the 18 leading black protest organizations. The mailing announces a meeting to publicize local solidarity efforts and to discuss ongoing strategy and work. Tim Smith of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility will talk about the national campaign to oppose bank loans to South Africa, particularly with churches and unions.
