WE CAN STOP THIS WAR
This action has grown beyond anyone's expectations. At the current pace we
expect hundreds of human shield volunteers, and if the pace continues to
accelerate like it is we expect the ultimate goal of thousands that are
needed to avert the war.
We are on the verge of getting endorsements from hundreds of peace
organisations around the world.
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change
the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead
³Dear Ken, I'm very impressed to find out about what you are doing, and
would like to express my strongest support and encouragement for these brave
actions.² -- Noam Chomsky, January 5, 2003
VOLUNTEER ORGANISERS NEEDED - TJPvolunteers@hotmail.com
If you are in London or near London you are needed NOW! At this point we
need organisers even more than human shields.
We need committed volunteers... office staff, mechanics to look at buses, a
professionally skilled webmaster, fundraisers (people who can ring around,
chase up money), people with language skills, billets in London to
accommodate other volunteers, contacts with celebrities for endorsements,
techies to help with internet/intranet, etc.... the list goes on.
If you live along the route: http://www.uksociety.org/tjp_route.htm we need
committed people to organise our reception rallies and collection of medical
supplies and clothing to be delivered directly to the Iraqi people.
Please send an email to TJPvolunteers@hotmail.com spelling out exactly how
you can help. If you have already done so we are endeavouring to process
your offer of support.
If you are completely committed, available immediately and know you can
provide one of the concrete examples of support above please phone this UK
number 07 799 650 791 and talk to Stefan. Do not call this number for any
other reason.
Please keep in mind that everyone involved in this action is a volunteer. No
one will be paid.
HUMAN SHIELD VOLUNTEERS - TJPhumanshields@hotmail.com
If you'd like to know the route and tentative dates for driving tthrough
your area see: http://www.uksociety.org/tjp_route.htm
In order to confirm your spot on a bus Human Shield volunteers need to do 3
things.
1) Send 3 copies of the first pages of their passport to (even if you have
already sent a fax copy as we need better copies):
TJP Human Shield Action
90c Mercers Road,
Tufnell Park,
London N19 4PR
England
2) Send a short statement about why you are going on this mission to
TJPhumanshields@hotmail.com (with STATEMENT in the subject box).
3) Send 300-500 Euros if you are joining us in Europe or 100-300 if you will
join us in Turkey. This is on the honor system, if you can afford 500 Euros
please pay it, this money will help fund more human shields and we all want
maximum participation. If you can afford more than 500 then do that but we
are desperately trying to obtain funding from wealthy people and any help in
this is more than welcome. If we get all the funding we hope we can return
funds to those who truly need it. Please bring money for food because the
logistical nightmare of feeding all of us is more than we can handle at this
point. (note: this money is purely for transportation and office expenses -
NOBODY IS GETTING A DIME OF PAY!!!)
See account details below for how to make payment. Payments must be
received immediately if you are to secure a spot on our rapidly filling
buses. Late contributors may have to do the journey in smaller vehicles
that will follow the main busses.
If you do not have money you must contribute now in some other way,
organizing, fundraising, etc. Email immediately if you are unable to pay so
we can arrange other possibilities (non-Turkey shields only - see below).
Once you have wired or sent the money you need to send an email to
TJPhumanshields@hotmail.com with CONFIRMED in the subject box, and the
details of your payment in the body of your message.
If you're from Turkey and you have questions about your payment please
contact Tolga in Turkey (do not reply to this email with questions regarding
this) tolga@bizsel.net
Please get in touch with your local media if you are a Human Shield
volunteer to let them know what you are doing. They will cover this and
getting the word out is very important to raise awareness.
DONATIONS - TJPdonations@hotmail.com
We urgently need office equipment; a fax machine, scanner, computers, adsl
modem/routers, photocopier. If you've got anything that might be useful
