D.C. ATONEMENT/REPARATIONS  MEETING WEEKLY

With the David Horowitz ad hitting the media, the controversy has sparked
real heat and reknewed interest in the public discussion on reparations.
 However, we believe that "atonement" is a missing link in this discussion.
 Learn more about atonement and reparations at our weekly mobilization
meetings.  Get involved in the healing that comes from working together
around these common goals.  Take part in ARM and the "people's movement for
racial healing, diversity & justice"

The Atonement/Reparations Mobilization (ARM) for Unity in Diversity Day - May
19 is seeking endorsements and involvement.  We are interested in pulling
together with all of the atonement/reparations/social justice efforts not
just for one day, but for a long-term educational, empowerment and advocacy
campaign leading us to UIDD III, May 19, 2001 to the UIDD IV, May 4, 2002
event and beyond.  We must come together as a united front until we achieve
the goal of full Reparations.  We must come together as a "people's movement
for racial healing, diversity & justice". Please review the following and
lets link our struggles.

The D.C. Atonement/Reparations Mobilization (ARM) meets every Wed,  at 6:30 -
9 p.m. at the Reeves Center, 14th & U Sts, N.W, Wash, D. C..

Agenda includes:
