TRANSAFRICA FORUM and the COALITION OF BLACK TRADE UNIONISTS
Call to Action
JUSTICE FOR ZIMBABWE
Monday, July 21, 2008 4:30 pm – 6:30 pm
The Embassy of Zimbabwe 18th Street and New Hampshire Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC
The people of Zimbabwe have been betrayed, by the government that claims to represent them and by Western governments that claim to support their desires for economic development and democracy. Post-independence promises made by the international community were not kept; the imposition of economic structural adjustment policies further entrenched inequality and reversed the initial gains made by the country. Internally, corruption, government mis-management, military excesses, and poor economic decisions have furthered the country’s multiple social and economic crises. Today, after an illegitimate presidential runoff the country stands in economic ruin, wide spread political violence continues, and the only way forward is through a national dialogue and a political negotiation. Please join us in our standing with the people of Zimbabwe in their call for change!
