Leaflet used in organizing a protest day against U.S. policy in Southern Africa on March 21, 1986 with a focus on U.S. finding for UNITA in Angola. The leaflet says on March 21, 1960 the South African police killed 69 unarmed demonstrators protesting against the pass laws in Sharpeville; 26 years later, the Reagan administration is helping to sustain apartheid in South Africa and Namibia through its policy of "constructive engagement" with the white minority regime. The leaflet says the Reagan Administration is planning to provide millions in covert aid to UNITA-South Africa's "contra" surrogates in Angola headed by Jonas Savimbi. The leaflet says March 21, as the kick-off day for the National Weeks of Anti-Apartheid Action and the Sharpeville Anniversary, is a strategic time for action against covert aid. The leaflet includes organizing suggestions for community and student groups. [Note: the leaflet says SEE BACK; the item digitized had no content on the back.]
