SAN FRANCISCO-Over 200 antiwar and anti-apartheid activists crowded into St. Teresa's Church here on Jan. 13 to hear reports from the leadership of the Mobilization for Peace, Jobs and Justice on the April 25 demonstrations planned for Washington, D.C., and San Francisco.
The meeting voted overwhelmingly to approve a comprehensive proposal from the Mobilization's 35-member coordinating committee to call a Western states demonstration in San Francisco focusing on "No U.S. Intervention in Central America and the Caribbean" and "No U.S. Support to South African Apartheid." The Mobilization's call also retains its demands for jobs and justice and for a freeze and reversal of the nuclear arms race.
Major efforts are being made to enlist the support of anti-intervention, anti-apartheid coalitions, and labor and religious organi -zations, throughout the Western states.
Messages of support were received from Gerry Condon; coordinator of the Northwest Action for Peace, Jobs and Justice in Seattle; from the Los Angeles coalition, which last October organized an anti-intervention demonstration of 10,000; and from organizing committees in Sacramento, Santa Cruz, and Fresno, Calif.
David Reed, chair of the national steering committee for the April 25 demonstration in Washington, D.C., will attend a Feb. 2 press conference to kick off a major publicity campaign in the region. The press conference will be held in San Francisco City Hall and will be hosted by Nancy Walker, president of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors.
Volunteers are needed to help out in every aspect of the coalition's work. Contact the Mobilization at 255 Ninth St., San Francisco CA 94103, or call (415) 626-8053.
Carl Finamore is a member of the staff and of the coordinating committee of the Mobilization for Peace, Jobs and Justice.
