Media outreach suggestions include Center for Constitutional Rights setting up interview with WBAI, Nat Hentoff writing article for Village Voice piece, All Things Considered, and A. Cockburn. Fundraising and publicity ideas include Jonathan Cohen of New Israel Fund, Richard Lapchick at the American Committee on Africa (ACOA), Village Gate in New York might provide space for a poetry reading, Carly Simon might host an event. Other allies could be Charlie Runyon, formerly at the State Department, Harriet Rob with Immigration Clinic at Columbia Law School, Peter Weiss and Mike Maggio if the case goes to Federal courts, Bill Goodfellow at Center for International Policy to work with members of Congress, and Helen Hopps, formerly at IPS. The memorandum also mentions Mark Strand, Denise Levitoff, Grace Paley, Bob Boehm, Rep. Jonathan Bingham, Elliot Abrams, Sen. Mark Hatfield, and Marcus Raskin.
