G-Lers,
Thank you to all who have already sent in their donations. We have seen
or heard brilliant suggestions made on this list. For any of these
suggestions to work, we have to be generous with our pocketbooks. A little
bit of our finances/time(s) will go a long way in helping us right the daily
wrongs our government inflicts on us.
To our brothers and sisters in Atlanta, please STOP the madness. July 4th is
ages away and should take a back seat to making our government
accountable to their barbaric acts. Please DO NOT take my statement as an
insult, its a challenge/plea for you guys to focus and participate in
something bigger than all of us. Thanks to the Gambian residents in Atlanta
who recognized our need to be one and planned the MARCH/DEMONSTRATION.
Our point of contact in DC is Karamba Touray or Soffie Ceesay. I urge
our fellow countrymen in NY and surroundings, CA, Seattle, NC, Miami,
Atlanta, Chicago, and Europe to update us on their efforts. It would be
great and unprecedented to work as one unit instead of several small ones.
Please give freely. Visit Gambian.com and click on Massacre Action Plan
to view our donation results.
Regards
Sal Barry
