APPELLO: Click and support TFF

["glr" <glr_y@iol.it>]

Ciao a tutt* , oggi vi disturbo per sottoporvi un appello:

TFF è una ong che fa volontariato e diffonde gratuitamente controinformazione da anni. Ora il governo svedese ha tagliato loro i finanziamenti che ricevevano:
questo che segue è un appello cui sottoscrivere per il ripristino del contributo governativo a favore di TFF.
Sottoscrivete anche voi all'appello per TFF e per la difesa della libera informazione.

saluti

Giorgio Ellero

Lund, Sweden
August 16, 2000

The Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs withdrew its organizational support for TFF for the year 2000, without prior consultation, motivation or documentation but with immediate effect.  We told you about that in PressInfos 94 and 95.

Since then, hundreds of people around the world have sent their personal letters of support to us, to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and MPs here in Sweden. Many have sent money, too. New friends turned up from Argentina to Japan. It's meant a lot to us in this time of crisis.

Who are they? Mostly women, citizens and internationals from crisis and war regions where we have worked, NGOs and youth. Of course: concerned citizens, rather than more privileged and people closer to power.

Many tell us that the treatment of TFF does not fit the image they had of Sweden, and that it is unbelievable that Sweden cannot find the equivalent of 30.000 $ for an organization that works, like we do, with research, education and advocacy to promote conflict-resolution with a minimum of violence.

We have thanked everyone personally who took action. We do it here again.
We are grateful to you!



You can easily help us
***************

We have been informed by the Ministry that TFF may apply for organizational support for the year 2001, deadline September 15. Be sure, we will!

We urge everybody else to express their support for independent research and peace action.
YOU CAN DO IT NOW BY A CLICK !

We want to include YOUR signature with the application, together with all the support letters we have already received. That is likely to exert maximum pressure on the Ministry.

Why not help us now? It's the easiest way to help us continue our work. It will speak directly to decisionmakers.

Please sign this Appeal - it is just a click away...
