The newsletter calls for the boycott of the movie Red Scorpion staring Dolph Lundgren. The newsletter says Red Scorpion was filmed in Namibia in a South African army movie studio; uses South African soldiers as extras; uses South African military equipment; and is based loosely on the life of the notorious Jonas Savimbi, head of UNITA. The newsletter includes excerpts from the minutes of the New York City Retirement System. The newsletter reports that Mobil plans to sell its operations in South Africa. The newsletter says it was Congressional legislation which forced Mobil out of South Africa calls for a step up in the fight for the Dellums-Simon bill for comprehensive economic sanctions; H.R. 21 and S. 507 mandates total disinvestment and imposes a near total ban on all trade with South Africa. The newsletter includes an article on the Soweto Uprising. The newsletter asks people to write their City Council representatives calling on them to vote for INTRO 1137 which will prohibit City agencies (such as the Board of Education) from purchasing directly or indirectly from corporations doing business in South Africa; this means Shell Oil, Kellogg's, Coke, Borden, and more. The newsletter advertises a forum at Bank Street College on May 25, 1989 featuring students from South Africa. The newsletter discusses apartheid, The Africa Fund, the American Friends Service Committee, IDAF, ANC Newsbriefing, African National Congress, President Botha, the Congress of South African Trade Unions (COSATU), and the show In Search of My Mother's Gardens.
