Peacework has been published monthly since 1972, intended to serve as a source of dependable information to those who strive for peace and justice and are committed to furthering the nonviolent social change necessary to achieve them. Rooted in Quaker values and informed by AFSC experience and initiatives, Peacework offers a forum for organizers, fostering coalition-building and teaching the methods and strategies that work in the global and local community. Peacework seeks to serve as an incubator for social transformation, introducing a younger generation to a deeper analysis of problems and issues, reminding and re-inspiring long-term activists, encouraging the generations to listen to each other, and creating space for the voices of the disenfranchised.

Views expressed are those of the authors, not necessarily of the AFSC.

Life Over Debt: Africa in the Age of Global Apartheid

In the global struggle for human rights Africa is ground zero. As part of our effort to educate, cultivate, and empower the next generation of Africa advocates who will work for the next fifty years to positively impact US foreign policy toward Africa, the American Friends Service Committee's Africa Program has organized a speaking tour through 9 US cities and 24 college campuses.

Through our tour we hope to increase awareness and inspire people to organize around AIDS and international debt, the issues that most affect the African continent. This tour will feature organizers:

Nomasonto Mthimkulu from South Africa's Youth for Work
Anyango Reggy, US Coordinator of the Africa Initiative Youth Exchange
Abdul Rahman Kamara from Sierra Leone's Quaker Prevention Network
Nachilala Nkombo from the Zimbabwe Office of AFSC
John Bomba, national coordinator of Zimbabwe-based Students Against Privatization
Roxanne Lawson, Africa Prog., AFSC
Jean Claude Nkundwa from Burundi's Ministry of Reconciliation
Gregory Angaluki from Botswana's Kagisano Society Women's Shelter

For more information and updates on dates and locations, contact Roxanne Lawson at 215/241-7259 or rlawson@afsc.org, or visit www.afsc.org/africa-debt.
