-- If you live or work in New York City, please consider joining
                      the Free Farouk vigil/leafleting every Friday from 12 noon to 1
                      pm outside the Federal Building at 26 Federal Plaza (Broadway at
                      Worth Street, take the 4/5/6 or N/R to City Hall, or the A/C/E to
                      Chambers Street). Usually we have four or so people there, but
                      we'd like to have a much larger presence over the next two months
                      to show federal officials that people are not forgetting Farouk--
                      that in fact his support is growing.

                      Please tell us if you can join the vigil. Even if you can't make
                      it every week, can you sign up for a specific day? And are you
                      part of a group that can mobilize people for it? Could your group
                      agree to sponsor the vigil for one day?

                      -- If you live in the Northeast or Mid-Atlantic, there a lot of
                      important events coming up between now and the end of October:
                      the Sunday, Sept. 28 march against occupation in Manhattan; the
                      end of the Immigrant Workers Freedom Ride in Flushing Meadows,
                      Queens, on Saturday, Oct. 4; the Palestine Solidarity Conference
                      the weekend of Oct. 11 (originally scheduled for the Rutgers
                      campus in New Brunswick, NJ); the Saturday, Oct. 18 demonstration
                      at the York County Prison in York, PA, and the nearby Caterpillar
                      plant; and the massive antiwar demonstration in Washington on
                      Saturday, Oct. 25.

                      We want to get Farouk's story out at these events, with signs,
                      banners, leaflets and petitions. Can you or your group be part of
                      a Farouk contingent at any or all of the actions? Would you be
                      interested in making joint transportation plans (for instance,
                      for renting buses or vans from New York and Philadelphia to the
                      York demo)?

                      -- Wherever you live, you can help tremendously in the
                      educational work by circulating material about Farouk and getting
                      people to sign the petition for his release. Material can be
                      downloaded from http://www.freefarouk.org

                      We also have a five-minute video: "Farouk Abdel-Muhti: Political
                      Prisoner" (2003), by Konrad Aderer, maker of the award-winning
                      short "Life or Liberty" (visit http://lifeorliberty.org for more
                      information). Ideal for showing at an event, or just at a meeting
                      in your living-room, as a short introduction to the realities of
                      immigration policy and how it can be used to stifle dissent. VHS:
                      $10 suggested donation. Inquire for other formats. Contact: Cmt
