Human Shields Need Help

We all say we oppose the war. How much are you willing to give to that?

Help TJP Human Shields to Iraq

A hundred human shields are leaving for Iraq January 25, in an effort to deter armed aggression by the US and UK governments. Hundreds more are ready to come, but we need your help to take them.

Dismayed at our governments’ determined pursuit of a war on Iraq, and its refusal to listen to the voices of popular protest, we believe that DIRECT ACTION is the only way to prevent this war. We are joining with Ken Nichols O’Keefe, in a mass migration to Iraq.

We want to show solidarity with ordinary Iraqi people, and hopefully preserve their water plants, hospitals, and schools from attack. Will our governments bomb us along with the Iraqis? Obviously, we hope not.

LIKE WHAT WE”RE DOING? WOULD YOU GIVE A POUND?

Millions of British people say they oppose this war. If even 100,000 give a pound each, this action will have much better success. Hey, why not two pounds? Buy us a pint. Take up a collection among your friends. Help us to Iraq!

How to? It’s easy!
1) CREDIT CARD - at www.humanshields.org
2) POST – send cheques made out to Universal Kinship Society to: TJP Human Shield Action 90c Mercers Road, Tufnell Park, London N19 4PR England

You can help in other ways! In London? We need volunteers:
Office Staff and computer people
Mechanics to look at buses,
Accommodation for out-of-town volunteers,
Fundraisers
Media outreach people
Organizers for our send-off
Please email  TJPvolunteers@hotmail.com telling us how you can help

Apart from cash, we need
- Contacts along our route
- Local and worldwide media exposure
- Medical supplies for Iraq.
- Provisions for the journey: water purifiers, shortwave radios, blankets, toilet paper, etc.
- Donations for Iraqis: toys, school supplies, building tools
- Office equipment: a fax machine, scanner, computers, adsl modem/routers, photocopier
- Vehicles to transport goods

If you've got anything that might be useful please email us ASAP at  TJPdonations@hotmail.com.

Spread the Word
PLEASE, take a few minutes. Contact friends in London or en-route (see  http://www.uksociety.org/tjp_route.htm): we need people to organise reception rallies, collect medicines and clothing for the Iraqi people, raise funds, come along. Tell local anti-war groups; contact the media; write about us.

We could really use your help.
