Form an Action Team to Help Afghan WomenPetition DriveThroughout our Campaign to Stop Gender Apartheid in Afghanistan, the Feminist Majority Foundation has used petition drives to increase public awareness about the plight of women and girls in Afghanistan and to demonstrate to policy makers support for the restoration of women's rights in Afghanistan, for increased humanitarian aid, especially to Afghan women and children, and for having Afghan women play a leadership role in the rebuilding of the country. Petitions are returned to the Feminist Majority Foundation so that they can be delivered to the State Department and White House along with thousands of other petitions from across the nation. Our Campaign has generated over 200,000 petitions and tens of thousands of faxes and e-mails to the Department of State. Clinton Administration State Department officials told us that they had received more mail on the issue of Afghanistan than any other foreign policy issue. Never before has it been more important to convey the strength of public support for Afghan women and girls. Action teams can circulate petitions during concerts, women's sporting events, campus tabling, and school assemblies, among other places and events. Already Formed an Action Team?
