[CIMC-working] Chicago IMC: I would like to do a story on the delegates

[Garth Liebhaber]

Hello,
     Garth Liebhaber of Chicago Indymedia here.  I am interested in doing a 
story on the departing IPT delegation.  I am interested in personal 
statements on each delegate's convictions in going, particularly if there is 
something in their life that has moved them.  I am talking to our audio 
person on this and if I could put it in audio format, that would be great, 
otherways a written statement would be good as well.
    I would also like to photograph the departure (I assume from O'hare?) 
and if I had moments  to make direct portraits (head shots) to accompany the 
text it would really help to build the story.
     My intention is to make this story into a center column feature with 
links to appropriate websites like vitw and iraqjournal as well as the new 
electroniciraq.net.  other suggestions would be useful.  The point in doing 
this article is to help people realize there are direct connections in what 
they can do to stop the genocide.
     I will have time this week until friday and then next week except for 
wednesday.  Your help in facilitating this is much appreciated.
     Thank you  and may we find peace,

Dear friends,


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
