C. community organization formed in June 1978 to do political, educational and fund-raising work around the liberation struggles in Zimbabwe, Namibia, and South Africa. SASP also seeks to give political and material assistance when possible to the people of the "Frontline States" (Mozambique, Angola, Zambia, Botswana and Tanzania), which have been hard-hit by military raids and economic and political sabotage by the white minority regime in South Africa. The pamphlet says SASP organizes educational activities about the liberation movements in southern Africa among churches, individuals, organizations, schools, universities, labor unions, news media, and other segments of the community. The highlight of SASP's organizing activities is an annual educational and fund-raising week-long campaign focusing on the liberation struggles of a specific country in southern Africa. In 1979 and 1980, the week was called ZIMBABWE WEEK, and this year SASP will host NAMIBIA WEEK 1981. The pamphlet discusses Zimbabwean refugees in Mozambique and Zambia, medical supplies and educational materials, clothes, Lorton Prison, Congressman Conyers, public schools, Mrs. Musialela, SWAPO, a Community Celebration and Dinner, Zimbabwean independence, His Excellency Comrade Prime Minister Robert Mugabe, Andrews Air Force Base, SWAPO United Nations Representative Theo-Ben Gurirab, the American Friends Service Committee (AFSC), the World Council of Churches (WCC), the Organization of African Unity (OAU), the nonaligned movement, the U.N.
