Fundraising mailing focused on the Faces Behind Apartheid Campaign newspaper ads. Ads focused on Senator Robert Dole and Senator Jesse Helms have already run in Kansas and North Carolina newspapers. Through those ads, hundreds of thousands of voters in their home states know that these Senators opposed the passage of the Anti- Apartheid Act of 1986.

Fundraising mailing focused on the Faces Behind Apartheid Campaign newspaper ads. Ads focused on Senator Robert Dole and Senator Jesse Helms have already run in Kansas and North Carolina newspapers. Through those ads, hundreds of thousands of voters in their home states know that these Senators opposed the passage of the Anti- Apartheid Act of 1986. The ads put politicians on notice that we will hold them accountable for their failure to act responsibly on this most critical moral issue of our day. We plan to target powerful corporate executives, top entertainers, major university presidents and other leaders who have failed to take responsible action in the face of the clear and compelling moral crisis of apartheid. USA Today, The Washington Post, The New York Times, and other publications have featured stories about the Faces Behind Apartheid campaign. In South Africa, The Star, the major daily newspaper in Johannesburg, recently ran a front-page article titled: "ADS MARK NEW ANTI-APARTHEID TACTIC IN U.S." Donations are needed to expand this media campaign, intensify lobbying efforts for greater worldwide sanctions, broaden our fight for more corporate divestments, and heighten our citizen education campaign on the evils of apartheid. The mailing includes quotes by Archbishop Desmond Tutu; Lane Kirkland, President AFL/CIO; and Walter E. Fauntroy, Congressional Delegate.
