Dear Friend,
In light of the injustices committed by the Israeli occupation
in the West Bank and Gaza, concerned members of the advertising and
media community in Jordan have produced a media campaign to
mobilize public opinion, to open the world's eyes to the violation of
basic human rights, in an effort to pressure policy-makers to effect
an immediate stop to the current occupation.
As members of the media community, we believe that this war must
be fought through public relations efforts and the media, through
advertising and education, and through having qualified spokespeople
address the justice of the cause, changing people's stereotypes about
Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims. It is time to take a proactive role
instead of waiting for things to happen.
As they say, the journey of a thousand miles begins with one
step. Ours is a unified media campaign that appeals to Arab and
Western audiences. This campaign comprises advertisements that can be
placed in newspapers and magazines, with images that may be printed on
t-shirts, posters, or even sent as emails.
As our main target is American and European public opinion, we
need your help. Running such a campaign in major US and European
papers will require substantial resources, funds we are in the process
of raising right now through many organizations, NGOs, and others
sympathetic to our cause.
However, on the small level, we believe YOU can run this campaign
immediately in college campus and local community newspapers. We know
that many Arab organizations in various universities either have
funding or can raise funds for this purpose.
By visiting our website (www.dying2live.com),
you will find an icon that says allows you to view the images and
choose the ones you care to download.
These images may be used not only for newspapers, but also may be
printed as flyers, stickers, posters, on t-shirts and mugs.
The student movement of the University of California at Berkeley
and the ensuing demonstrations on the campus during the Vietnam War
started a ripple effect that took over the whole nation and eventually
led to America's pullout from Vietnam. Students and youth are the
force of change. Please be active and help. As one anonymous
writer once said, " Our lives begin to
end the day we become silent about things that matter."
Please forward this email to all your friends, Arab, Muslim, or
other, sympathetic to our cause. As you read this letter right now
more people are being killed, tortured, orphaned, made homeless, or
buried. More tragedies are being uncovered from under the rubble of
what once was a city or village. Mobilize all you know and have them
help us 'be a force in regaining the rights, the dignity, and most
importantly the land of the Palestinian people.
Thank you for all your help. If you have any further inquiries,
please feel free to contact us,
Dying to Live team.
