Leaflet advertising a rally supporting sanctions on June 15 at 5:00 pm at the Ferry Building in San Francisco after a press conference there at noon. The rally will demand passing the Comprehensive Sanctions Bills - HR 21 and SB 507. The constructive engagement policy of the Reagan and Bush administrations has allowed the apartheid government to increase repression. The sanctions bills are supported by the National and World Council of Churches, TransAfrica, NAACP, and many other unions, churches and community organizations. The leaflet quotes Rev. Allan Boesak of the South African Council of Churches (SACC) and a resolution passed at the AFL-CIO 1987 Convention. The rally is sponsored by Congressman Ron Dellums; Rev. Cecil Williams, pastor, Glide Memorial Church; San Francisco Labor Council; Walter Johnson, secretary, International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) Warehouse Local 6; Jim Ryder, President, Molders Union Local 164B; Ignacio DelaFuente, International Representative and Pat Ford, Executive Secretary, Service Employees International Union (SEIU) Local 616; Free South Africa Labor Committee; San Francisco Anti-Apartheid Committee; Bay Area Free South Africa Movement; and others.
