    Dear IFCSS Members:

    The IFCSS has received the following letter. The IFCSS
    HQ believes that it is a great opportunity for us students and
    scholars to show the public that Chinese students and workers are
    unified in our struggle for democracy. This is also an opportunity
    to show our support for Wang Juntao and Chen Ziming.

    Dear friends:

    I am writing to invite you to participate the AFL-CIO's
    commemoration of Solidarity Day '91. The AFL-CIO (American
    Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations) is
    the largest American labor union and its serves labor movements internationally as well.

    The event to be held in Washington, D.C. on August 31st, will
    include a march from the Washington Monument to the Capitol led by
    prominent leaders from the labor movement. The Chinese community
    will also take part in this event. Lu Jin Hua will speak at the
    march on behalf of the Chinese and international labor movements.
    The AFL-CIO has arranged for a replica of the Goddess of Democracy
    to be present. Li Lu, Yue Wu, and Zhang Boli will also
    participate.

    If you are interested in participating please contact
    Christine Crawford, Foundation for Human Rights and Democracy in
    China at 202-347-5708 for further details. If you can organize a
    group of over 10 the AFL-CIO will possibly arrange free bus
    transportation to Washington and back.

    Regard,

    Christine Crawford
    Program Officer, FHRD

    I would like to know if you happen to have the "Solidarity Works: Solidarity Day'91" created by artist Jerry W. McDaniel in 1991. Please let me know. I do not see a date on your post thus I do not know how current the post I am responding to is.
