volunteers to help
From: "Kathy Polias" <kpolias@uyghurs.org>
The UHRC is looking for more volunteers to help move three specific
campaigns that we are working on forward: (1) Campaign to Free Famous Uyghur
Businesswoman Rabiye Kadir; (2) Campaign to Urge BP Amoco to Pull out of
Xinjiang Pipeline Project and to Divest from PetroChina; (3) Campaign to Stop
Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan from Forcibly Returning Uyghur Political Refugees to
China. For more information on these three campaigns, go to: http://www.uyghurs.org/campaigns.htm
We need people to work on: publicizing these three
campaigns to the public, other organizations, the U.S. government, and the
press; developing materials in addition to the ones we already have for these
three campaigns (such as petitions,
postcards, action sheets, etc.); and keeping on top of the news related to these
three campaigns. Much of the coordinating can be done over e-mail and the
phone, so you don't need to live in DC (where we're based) to help us with these
campaigns. We at the UHRC are going to be very
busy next semester building the student movements at our 6 FOCUS
universities--American University (DC), George Washington University (DC), Univ.
of Maryland-College Park (MD), Stanford University (CA), UC-Berkeley (CA), and
Univ. of Washington (WA). Therefore, we desperately need volunteers to
help with the individual campaigns./
