This funding appeal describes major plans for 1989. TransAfrica has invited Archbishop Desmond Tutu and other black South African leaders to come to America in March to participate in a National Symposium on Ending Apartheid on Capitol Hill, with members of Congress, business, professional and civil rights leaders, and White House staff.

This funding appeal describes major plans for 1989. TransAfrica has invited Archbishop Desmond Tutu and other black South African leaders to come to America in March to participate in a National Symposium on Ending Apartheid on Capitol Hill, with members of Congress, business, professional and civil rights leaders, and White House staff. Coverage of the event by international journalists, television and radio networks will reach millions of Americans and energize them to demand tougher economic sanctions on South Africa by the U.S. government. Following the symposium, Archbishop Tutu and other leaders will go with Randall Robinson to the White House, to personally urge President Bush not only to support passage of the Anti-Apartheid Act of 1989, but also to put pressure on leaders of Great Britain, West Germany and France to impose tougher economic sanctions. The symposium will put the detention, torture, killings and other crimes against defenseless people in South Africa back into the news. An enclosed letter from Winnie Mandela urges people to consider resolving the apartheid crisis an extremely high priority. Robinson says that 1989 will also be a critical year for our Global Sanctions Campaign, solidifying public opinion in Great Britain, West Germany and France. Plans are being formed for rallies, demonstrations and international media messages as well as petition campaigns in West Germany, France, Great Britain and America.
