Africa and the Middle East
ADVOCACY DAYS!

An Educational and Advocacy Event for People of Faith Committed to Working
for Just U.S. Policies toward Africa and the Middle East

February 23-26, 2003

You are invited to participate in an ecumenical gathering in Washington, DC,
that begins Sunday evening, February 23, and ends Wednesday afternoon,
February 26.

The gathering offers two distinct learning/advocacy tracks, one focused on
Africa and the other on the Middle East. Both tracks will provide
challenging speakers, issue briefings, and advocacy training workshops.
There will be opportunities to speak with your Senators and Representatives
in the U.S. Congress, or their key foreign policy staff, regarding Africa or
the Middle East. There will also be common times for fellowship and
networking, a keynote address and reception, and, on the second evening of
the gathering, a special ecumenical service of worship for participants and
the public.

Why Africa and the Middle East together? Recognizing that advocacy
approaches share much in common across regions, Africa and Middle East
advocates have joined together in planning this conference. The gathering
is cosponsored by several church-related organizations: Africa Faith and
Justice Network, Washington Office on Africa, Stand with Africa Campaign,
Churches for Middle East Peace, and Church World Service and Witness.
