Calendar of
Protest Events
Compiled by Rich James
Here is a more detailed account of the various protest events
mentioned in the sanctions article:
Wednesday, Sept. 17 Apartheid Rally at A&T

will take place from 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm in Harrison
auditorium at A&T
Monday Sept. 22 Ethies of Divestment
Greensboro College professor Douglas McKaughy will discuss
the ethics of sanctions and divestment. He will discuss how
violence can occur through action and inaction, and how a con
cientious decision can be made on the issue. Enforcement of the
Sullivan Principals will also be discussed. This talk should
answer any questions raised by the sanctions editorial.
Oct. 10 National Protest Day
Over 120 student anti-apartheid activists from 50 campuses
nationwide have called for coordinated actions against U.S. in
vestment in South Africa. The American Committee On Africa
(ACOA) has recommended several courses of action: (1) Focus
on community awareness of the sanctions issue; (2) Petition
businesses in your area to divest of South Africa; (3) Petition for
school assets to be removed from companies doing business in
South Africa; (3) Build shanty-towns. This day is also South
Africa Political Prisoner Day. The ACOA recommends the
following be done on behalf of prisoners: (1) Draw petitions for
political prisoners calling for their release; (2) Wear placards and
sashes bearing prisoners names; (3) Distribute black arm bands
rn honor of the prisoners; (4) at 1:00 p.m. e.s.t. conduct a silent
vigil of one to five minutes.
The ACOA and students are supported by many activist
groups including Mobilization For Survival, Fellowship For The
Reconciliation and Southern Christian Leadership. For more in
formation call ACOA at 212-962-1210.
Ocf. 25 Action For Peace, Jobs and Justice
This date has been targeted by over 15 activist organizations
to be a nationally coordinated day of protest actions. The
groups represent a wide range of concerns: disarmament, na
tional peace, anti-apartheid, religious, labor, social justice and
groups concerned with U.S. involvement in Central America
and the Middle East. Together they call themselves Actions For
Peace Jobs and Justice.
The day has two purposes: one, is to develop unity among ac
tivist groups and two, to make their concerns visible to the
voting public prior to the November elections. The Oct. 25 ac
tions will support a broad range of demands: Stop U.S. war in
Central America and U.S. intervention in the Middle East;
redirect resources from the military to meet human needs; de
fend human rights; cut all ties with South Africa and end racism
at homes. That same weekend thousands around the world will
mark the UN/World Disarmament Day.
Planning is underway for demonstrators in Boston, New
York, Washington D.C., Atlanta, Chicago, Minneapolis,
Denver, Austin and Seattle. For information, contact APJJ c/o
Mobilization for Survival, 853 Broadway, Suite 418, New York,
