Greetings:
In reaction to the attrocities recently perpetrated on the students by the
armed forces, an emergency meeting was convened late last night here in
Washington DC.
The outcome of the meeting was the following:
1. Immediate action was called for to express our outrage over the
slaughter of young Gambian lives.
This will be in the form of a Demonstration!
THIS FRIDAY, April 12 AT 10:00 AM
at the Gambian Embassy in Washington DC!
1155 15th St. NW (Next to the Madison Hotel - 15th and L St)
All Gambians residing in the area and friends of The Gambia are
called to action.
2. On Saturday, April 13th, there will be a community meeting.
The purpose of the meeting will be:
a) To develop a structural framework to better coordinate efforts
within the community and other communities in the U.S.
b) To disseminate up-to-date information to the general community
about this incident and other objectives being developed.
c) To develop a plan of action geared towards the ALD to address
the need for a national Political Action Committee.
d) To develop a strategy to address the immediate need for
assistance for those individuals and families affected (medical,
legal, ...)
e) To develop a strategy to obtain timely and accurate information
on the ground (Gambia)
The place and time will be announced very soon. (Note: If you have a
location you wish to suggest, please forward it to either of the names below
or just post it on the list, or call.)
No Justice No Peace!
For the Ad Hoc Committee:
