[CIMC-working] VITW Feature Proposal

[Garth Liebhaber]

As per the VITW Iraq Peace Team press release on new delegation leaving on  
Thursday march 6th I am going to contact VITW to make direct portraits of 
delegates.  If I can I will also photograph them leaving o'hare.
  I am also going to solicit personal statements/testimony on their 
convictions/feelings on this trip.  If I knew audio I would love to post 
that in a feature.
     Rita, do you have any plans on this?  or; would you have 'crash course' 
suggestions in getting audio?  I actually know the basics, such as the 
importance of telling someone to state their name and to say "I am going to 
Iraq because...." so that it can be used as a clean clip.  I have a crappy 
mini-tape player, but am lost technically beyond that...
    if it doesn't come together fully, that's okay, I'll get as much 
together as I can.  thanks,  Garth






We have been in touch with the teams in Iraq, and received word that our

most recent delegation has arrived safely. The next IPT delegation is

scheduled to leave Chicago on March 6th.  Below you will find:


1)      Press Release from the Iraq Peace Team in Iraq, on their way to the

Demilitarized zone on the border of Iraq and Kuwait


2)      Iraq Peace Team's Encampment Statement of Purpose


Members of the Iraq Peace Team are available for interviews. Please

contact us at 773 784 8065/ info@vitw.org. Please continue to visit

www.iraqpeaceteam.org for updates and writings from the IPT. 


Voices in the Wilderness is encouraged by the call from IPT in Iraq, that

"people of conscience all over the United States conduct a massive,

preemptive sit-down for peace."


We encourage the formation of US peace teams to challenge the forces of

war on multiple fronts. The Iraq Peace Team envisions preemptive

nonviolent action to coincide and highlight the presence of the three dozen

IPT members who are planning to stay in Iraq indefinitely. 


Peace Teams in the US can consist of people committed to taking

preemptive nonviolent action at the centers of defense contractors,

government offices, weapons production plants, and civilian infrastructure

sites.  We ask peace teams to consider conscientious objection and refusal

to finance war.  We can offer assistance and collaboration in forming these

teams with over 150 returned IPT delegates.  Call or write Voices in the

Wilderness, and see our list of IPT delegates at www.iraqpeaceteam.org


We are also putting out a paper mailing. Please send your mailing address

to info@vitw.org if you would like to receive a copy and you are not already

in our database.   




peace,


voices in the wilderness chicago
