Donate to the Tribunal!
Resources are needed to make this incredible event happen. InPDUM is struggling
to make sure that everyone that wants to participate will be able to
participate. We believe that reparations will only come when masses of African
people wage an organized struggle for the reparations demand. So our main goal
is to have maximum participation. You can help make this happen by donating to
the Tribunal! Send your donation to InPDUM, 1021 S. 49th St., Philadelphia, PA
19143. Checks and money orders can be made out to "InPDUM".
FORWARD THIS EMAIL
We are calling on everyone to take a moment and forward this email to group
email lists that you are a member of or to lists of people that you have
personally. Everyone needs to be in Philadelphia November 15th and 16th for
this historic event! Reparations Now!
Uhuru Means Freedom!
