>>PEOPLE OF COLOR AGAINST THE WAR
>>NATIONAL DAY OF TRUTH
>>APRIL 18, 2002

>>The mainstream media paints the image that everyone support George Bush's 
>>racist war against the Middle East and against people of color in the 
>>United States.  Consequently, it is critical that we increase public 
>>visibility of opposition to the war.  In particular, we need to highlight 
>>the racist and sexist dimension of the war.
>>
>>That is why People of Color Against the War calls you to join our 
>>National Day of Truth on April 18.   Our goal is to have people and 
>>organizations around the country plaster their communities with anti-war 
>>material, such as posters, stickers, leaflets, newspapers, and street 
>>theater.  We would hope that it would be impossible for anyone to walk 
>>around your community that day without seeing anti-war material 
>>everywhere.    Your actions that day can be as simple as putting up a few 
>>stickers on your way to work, or as organized as you would like.  Since 
>>the National March Against War and Racism is happening on April 20 in 
>>Washington, DC, we hope that the National Day of Truth will help create 
>>more visibility for this event as well.
>>
>>People of Color Against The War is a network of people of color 
>>organizations around the country, including Third World Within, Project 
>>South, Women of All Red Nations, the Committee Against Anti-Asian 
>>Violence, the National Network of Immigrant and Refugee Rights, the Arab 
>>Anti-Discrimination Committee, and many others too numerous to 
>>name.  Incite! Women of Color Against Violence is part of this network 
>>and asks all its supporters to join the campaign.
>>
>>We will provide model press releases you can adapt for your purposes to 
>>bring more media attention to the event in your area.  If you need 
>>resources, such as the War Times newspaper, anti-war posters, or other 
>>materials to help participate in this event, please contact us.  If you 
>>have resources you can share with others, please let us know as well.  We 
>>would also be interested in knowing what you are planning to do for that 
>>day as well as hearing a report of the results of your local actions.
>>
