- LOCAL OUTREACH SUGGESTIONS FOR
-
- HEALING GLOBAL WOUNDS
-
- Many people are appalled at the idea of celebrating the
- 500th anniversary of the Columbus invasion, but do not have a
- good local alternative. Many counter-Columbus events focus on
- things that happened 500 years ago, and do not address the wide
- range of issues facing indigenous people today. Most counter-
- Columbus events are not Native led, and do nothing to build
- multi-cultural alliances that can continue, once the October 12th
- hype is over. Many people are looking for an event like this one,
- and outreach possibilities are abundant.
- Most people don't realize that indigenous people world-wide
- are affected far more than most by the nuclear arms race, from
- uranium mining and radioactive dumps through testing on Native
- lands.
-
- THE TIME IS NOW
- President Bush has already pressured Yeltsin to resume
- testing when the current Russian testing moratorium expires,
- according to recent visitors from the former Soviet Union. Peter
- Zheutlin, spokesperson for International Physicians for the
- Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) told reporters, " We were told
- by a man in Boris Yeltsin's cabinet, someone very much opposed to
- this that Bush and Yeltsin have a secret understanding that
- Russia will resume testing when the current moratorium expires in
- October."
- Local events focusing on the significance of the current
- window of opportunity to end nuclear testing for all time should
- also be major outreach opportunities for Healing Global Wounds,
- and will hopefully result in stronger local relationships for
- your group in the future.
-
- 1) DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Research related issues in your area
- regarding nuclear issues (uranium mining, weapons production,
- transport, storage or launch sites), Native American issues
- (toxic dumps, treaty rights, land and self-determination issues,
- etc.) and Columbus Day events. Read Native newspapers and news-
- letters. Find out who is involved in working on these issues or
- events and contact them for more information. Perhaps there is a
- medical or nurse's association in your area that would like to
- know about the Forum.
-
- 2) ESTABLISH A LOCAL CONTACT.
- * Choose a local contact number and address for people in your
- area who want to get involved.
- * Copy Healing Global Wounds flyers with the local contact
- included, or make your own.
- * Can your group arrange for carpools, shared rental cars or
- vans, or a bus?
- * Can your group plan a nonviolence training session for those
- who may choose to participate in direct action? Contact HGW if
- you don't know any qualified trainers in your area.
-
- 3) YOUR GROUP/S:
-
- * Discuss participating in Healing Global Wounds at a meeting or
- gathering of your group. Try to have a specific meeting or
- committee to plan your group's involvement.
- * Send out a letter, flyer or newsletter article asking for par-
- ticipation in Healing Global Wounds to group members.
- * Make followup calls to encourage participation.
- * Ask if your group could take on a specific task area, and let
- our office know.
-
- 4) CONTACTING OTHER ORGANIZATIONS:
- * Call or send information to other peace, environmental, medi-
- cal, veteran or Native American groups in your area.
- * Ask if you could come and make an oral or video presentation at
- their next meeting. Take plenty of materials.
- * Ask if they could include an announcement in their next news-
- letter, or flyer in their next mailing.
-
- 5) PUBLIC OUTREACH:
- * Ask local weekly and community papers to announce the event.
- * Ask local community radio stations to announce it also.
- * Put up flyers in community centers, on bulletin boards, etc.
- * Hand out flyers or table at community events.
- * Contact public access cable TV stations to arrange a showing of
- a video, such as Bound by the Wind. (See RESOURCES)
-
- 6) ORGANIZE VIDEO SHOWINGS IN HOMES, CHURCHES, ETC.
- Showing a video about the effects of nuclear testing or
- Native American land struggles can make it much more real for
- people with no direct experience. Invite your friends to your
- home, and have other members of your group do the same, or plan a
- bigger event in a more public place. This can be an excellent
- opportunity for questions and answers afterward, and to let
- people know they can do something about nuclear testing and learn
- more by attending Healing Global Wounds.
- This is also a very good time to do fundraising for HGW,
- either toward general costs, the Scholarship Fund, or to help
- with your group's travel and outreach costs.

- ** Topic: organizing buses **
- ** Written 3:47 pm Aug 24, 1992 by aptvegas in cdp:hgw.action **
- ARRANGING BUS OR VAN TRANSPORTATION TO
-
- HEALING GLOBAL WOUNDS
-
- 1) FINDING YOUR BUS COMPANY: Ask other groups in your area who
- may have experience chartering buses for events, to find the
- cheapest and most reliable bus company.
-
- 2) If you are unable to locate such groups, call around to all
- the bus companies in your area and get quotes on prices. Before
- you call, have your departure time, return time, and estimated
- mileage determined. This will help them give you an accurate
- estimate of cost. Also ask:
- * How much is required for a deposit?
- * When will the deposit be due?
- * Is the deposit refundable (or creditable toward other buses)?
- * How much time in advance must you cancel reservations for a bus
- in order to receive a refund?
- * When is the balance of payment required?
-
- Obviously, it is preferable to find a company that will
- accept the balance of payment as late as possible, hopefully at
- the time of departure, when you will have collected the bulk of
- the money from riders. Also, it is good to be able to cancel
- buses as late as possible, when you have a reasonably good idea
- of the number of people you will be transporting. Ask if you can
- take care of the hotel accommodations for the drivers. This is
- usually cheaper than having the bus company do it. (Healing
- Global Wounds has made inexpensive reservations at the Continen-
- tal Hotel in Las Vegas for the Forum portion of events. See FORUM
- ACCOMMODATIONS section.) If they agree to it, be sure and make
- hotel reservations and send a deposit to secure rooms.
-
- 3) FINALIZING ARRANGEMENTS: Once you've decided who you're
- doing business with, send the deposit you've agreed on. Be
- ambitious -- always overestimate the number of buses you will
- need and try to fill them. You can cancel buses a lot easier than
- you can reserve additional ones at the last minute. Include a
- written summary of all that you have agreed to (amount of ba-
- lance, when it is due, itinerary with dates and times, etc.) Be
- explicit. Request that the company send you a written confirma-
- tion of these agreements and receipt of deposit to keep for your
- records. This is important! Check in with them as it gets closer
- to departure time, and make sure they're clear on dates, times,
- and method of payment. Don't be shy about bothering them. You
- don't want them to forget about you!
-
- 4) RAISING FUNDS FOR BUSES: As soon as you can, get out a
- local outreach flyer that includes specific dates of pre-trip
- meetings, trainings, bus prices, departure times, etc. You should
- figure out how much each seat on the bus costs, and have a clip &
- return coupon. Encourage people to send in their payment now to
- secure their places on the buses. You can also fundraise for bus
- `scholarships' by including a category like: "_____ I can't
- attend Healing Global Wounds, but here's a contribution for
- someone to go in my place". This really works well. The coupon
- will also help you get an idea of how many people will be riding,
-
- and provide a way for you to follow up with reminder calls.
-
- 5) CHECK IN WITH RIDERS: Phone all who've indicated an inter-
- est in attending in the last days before the events and remind
- them to bring their money with them if they haven't sent it
- already. Remind them of the departure time and ask them to be on
- time. This will allow you to obtain a final count and cancel
- buses if necessary.
-
- 6) ON THE DAY OF DEPARTURE: call up the bus company once again
- to confirm departure place and time. If you're delivering the
- balance of payment to the driver (if you were that lucky), make
- sure you have it with you! Have volunteers meet you at the
- departure site a little early to get ready for the masses. Have
- key people identified to check in riders who reserved their spots
- (and collect payment if it hasn't been received). An alphabetized
- list with all information in one place makes this a lot easier.
- People who haven't reserved a place should be let on buses last
- in case there is not enough room for everyone.
-
- Also have a key volunteer to troubleshoot and deal with
- questions from nervous parents, etc. In addition, there should be
- at least one designated volunteer on each bus who can deal with
- any problems that may (and probably will) occur, and who has
- directions to your destination.
-
- Take a head count every time you make a pit stop, and make
- sure everyone gets back on the bus. Make people feel comfortable,
- communicate with bus drivers, and have a good time together! As a
- "tour guide", chances are that you will receive free food at all
- the awful restaurants you'll stop at along the way.
-
- 7) FOR SMALLER GROUPS, TRY VANS: For smaller groups of people,
- you can rent 10 person vans from many car rental agencies. While
- this is cheaper, and gives you more autonomy and flexibility, the
- requirements for insurance, licenses, ages of drivers, credit
- cards, etc. are usually more complicated. Try to find someone in
- your area who has done this before, and get referrals from them
- on the best rental companies to contact.
-
- HAVE A GREAT TRIP, AND WE'LL SEE YOU THERE!

- ** Written 3:49 pm Aug 24, 1992 by aptvegas in cdp:hgw.action **
- ORGANIZING LOCAL PRESS COVERAGE FOR
-
- HEALING GLOBAL WOUNDS
-
- Healing Global Wounds is being organized by diverse com-
- munities in a decentralized way, and relies heavily on local
- groups taking responsibility to make it a success. This is
- particularly true of media coverage. The information below and
- sample press release are to help your group to do media outreach.
-
- Your efforts to reach the media may result in direct local
- coverage and/or make it more likely that your local media will
- carry national wire service reports about Healing Global Wounds
- events and issues. Please do whatever you can.
-
- 1) DEVELOP A LOCAL MEDIA CHECKLIST. Include:
-
- MAJOR MEDIA:
- Daily and weekly newspapers, wire services (AP, UPI, etc.)
- local offices, TV stations, radio stations
-
- ALTERNATIVE MEDIA
- Community and college newspapers, organizational, medical
- and Native American newsletters, college and listener sponsored
- community radio stations, public access cable TV stations
-
- Check with other groups to ask if you can use their media
- list, if you don't have one. If possible, get the names of
- specific reporters. Check back issues or clippings files to get
- the names of reporters who have covered related issues. Ask
- people in your group and friends who they know in the local
- media. Personal contacts can be very helpful.
-
- 2) DO YOUR HOMEWORK: Healing Global Wounds is looking at
- nuclear testing in a new way. As a project that was initiated by
- the Western Shoshone, to take place during the Columbus Quincen-
- tennial, we are asking people to look at the problems faced by
- indigenous people today, not just 500 years ago. By bringing in
- medical experts to address the effects of nuclear testing on
- indigenous people, atomic veterans and all downwinders, we are
- providing information that has been, until now, nearly impossible
- for people to hear. Read the background material provided, and
- use materials on the resource list. You will feel a lot more
- confident and relaxed when talking to the press with this infor-
- mation firmly in hand.
-
- 3) DRAFTING A PRESS RELEASE: Adapt the enclosed press release
- to suit your group, or write your own. Research related issues in
- your area regarding nuclear issues (uranium mining, weapons
- production, transport, or storage sites), Native American issues
- (toxic dumps, treaty rights, etc.) and Columbus Day events.
-
- * Include a local angle: how many or who is going from your
- area, fundraising or outreach events planned, a sendoff to
- local folks going, a simultaneous local vigil or event.
- * Replace with your local group's letterhead, or make one.
- * Include a brief description of your local group.
-
- * You may wish to send a brief supplementary release about
- local angles along with the Healing Global Wounds release.
-
- Keep the press release short, simple and snappy. Draw
- attention to the most important information (what, where, when)
- by placing it at the top. Make it easy to read. Press releases
- are often double spaced to make them easier and faster to read.
- It should be no more than 2 pages long.
-
- You may want to send background material you think appro-
- priate, but not too much. You may want to include information
- about your local group, or some of the enclosed background
- information. Don't send out more than 5 pages (double sided is
- OK). It is unlikely that a reporter or editor will read more than
- that. You can provide more information later if interest is
- expressed.
-
- 4) SENDING OUT YOUR PRESS RELEASE:
- * Your press release should be received at least 4 working days
- prior to the beginning of the news you want covered.
- * If you have time, send out a press advisory about two weeks in
- advance of the event. A press advisory can be a summarized
- version of the press release with your local angle to notify the
- media the event is coming up.
- * Hand address envelopes and mail them first class.
- * If you don't have the name of a specific reporter, address
- your release to "Assignment Editor".
- * It is better to send too many than too few press releases. If
- you have the names of several reporters at a single paper or
- station, send one copy to each, and maybe one to the "Assignment
- Editor".
-
- 5) MAKING FOLLOW-UP CALLS: This step is essential, or you are
- wasting your time. You should make your calls two days before an
- event, and you may also want to call the morning before if you
- have a local send-off or event. If you sent a "press advisory",
- also make follow-up calls to make sure they received it.
-
- Ask to speak to the person to whom you sent the press
- release. If they are not in, leave a message and refer to your
- press release. If you called a reporter who is not in, ask to
- speak to the Assignment Editor.
-
- Be polite but assertive. Try to convince the reporter/editor
- that thousands of Indigenous people, downwinders, atomic veterans
- and supporters travelling to an international forum in Las Vegas
- and Healing Ceremony at the Nevada Test Site is an important
- national event and a significant local story. Stress both the
- Columbus Quincentennial, medical and nuclear testing angles.
- Emphasize your local angle and local participation.
-
- Offer to set up interviews with knowledgeable local people
- and those attending Healing Global Wounds either before they go
- or upon their return. You may be able to call your local media
- from Las Vegas (such as from the press conference scheduled on
- Monday, Oct. 5, at the DOE offices). You can also call later in
- the week from Indian Springs, just 20 minutes from the Test Site.
-
-
- Is there someone in your group who is not going to Healing
- Global Wounds who might be willing to make calls during the
- events, updating interested media about what is happening?
- Persistence pays off. Call with your updates. Don't get dis-
- couraged.
-
- 6) GENERAL SUGGESTIONS: Avoid using rhetoric. Try to use
- language that non-activists can understand. Listen carefully to
- reporters' questions. Try to respond honestly, but make your
- point. If you don't know the answer to a question, remember- you
- don't have to be a technical expert. You are an expert on your
- own opinions and feelings.
-
- 7) ARRANGE TO GET A RELATED VIDEO ON YOUR CABLE STATION. Many
- areas have public access cable TV stations. Be sure to find out
- how to include the information that your group is going to
- Nevada. Perhaps you can follow the video with a brief interview.
-
- Often all that is required is for a local resident or group
- to request a showing of a particular video. Several are suggested
- in the Resources section, such as David Brown's excellent video
- Bound By the Wind, showing the effects of nuclear testing world-
- wide. Plan far enough ahead to advertise the event in newsletters
- or with flyers. This could be a good organizing tool to get more
- people to join you at Healing Global Wounds.
-
- 8) PLEASE SEND RELATED CLIPPINGS TO HEALING GLOBAL WOUNDS: At
- PO Box 4082, Las Vegas NV 89127. Include the names of reporters,
- papers and addresses so that we can keep a complete file.
-
- THANK YOU FOR YOUR WORK, AND GOOD LUCK!

- FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
- August 15, 1992
-
- HEALING GLOBAL WOUNDS:
- INDIGENOUS FORUM & CEREMONY AT THE NEVADA TEST SITE
-
- The Western Shoshone Nation is inviting concerned
- people from around the world to join them for 10 days
- to stop nuclear testing. A series of events, Healing
- Global Wounds, is being planned for October 2-12, 1992.
- These events coincide with the Columbus Quincentennial
- to focus attention on the continuing assault on in-
- digenous people through radiation poisoning world-wide.
-
- Events include an Indigenous Peoples Forum in Las
- Vegas on Oct. 3-4, including medical experts presenting
- the latest information on the human and environmental
- affects of nuclear testing, a press conference at the
- Dept. of Energy, administrators of the Test Site, the
- completion of a 3,000 mile walk by Europeans, Native
- Americans and others from the East Coast to the Test
- Site, and an all day Healing Ceremony with indigenous
- spiritual leaders. On Oct. 11, thousands will rally at
- the gates of the Test Site.
-
- In 1951, the land for the Nevada Test Site was
- seized from the Western Shoshone, in violation of
- ancestral land rights and the 1863 Treaty of Ruby
- Valley. Pauline Estevez, a member of the Western Sho-
- shone National Council (WSNC), describes the first
- Nevada nuclear test on January 27, 1951. "One day we
- saw a flash of lightning. Then a dull clap of thunder
- followed, and the earth beneath our feet trembled. We
- had no idea what was going on, and the next day our
- mother took us to the desert to pray and try to under-
- stand what we had seen and felt. It was much later when
- we heard that we had experienced the first atomic bomb
- test on the Nevada Test Site; here, right on our land."
-
- President Bush has already pressured Yeltsin to resume
- testing when the current Russian testing moratorium expires,
- according to recent visitors from the former Soviet Union. Peter
- Zheutlin, spokesperson for International Physicians for the
- Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW) told reporters, " We were told
- by a man in Boris Yeltsin's cabinet, someone very much opposed to
- this, that Bush and Yeltsin have a secret understanding that
- Russia will resume testing when the current moratorium expires in
- October."
- In addition to Russia's moratorium, France also implemented
- a moratorium on April 8. China, which has conducted only 2% of
- the world's nuclear tests, conducted a test on May 21, 1992. This
- should be a warning that if the U.S. and Great Britain, (who also
- tests in Nevada) don't stop, other nations will feel that to
- protect themselves, they must join the nuclear club.

- ** Written 3:53 pm Aug 24, 1992 by aptvegas in cdp:hgw.action **
- GANA: THE GLOBAL ANTI-NUCLEAR ALLIANCE
-
- GANA is a world-wide network of citizen's groups, legis-
- lators, and radiation survivors. The first conference was in 1990
- at the Soviet Semipalatinsk nuclear test site in Kazakhstan.
- There, where one our of three Kazakhs children are born with
- birth defects, the Nevada-Semipalatinsk grass-roots movement was
- born. Naming their group in solidarity with the US anti-nuclear
- movement, their efforts and momentum quickly swelled beyond
- anything seen in the States, and the Kazakh site was shut down.
-
- The preamble of the GANA Draft Charter reads in part:
- Possessing knowledge about the scale of weapons of mass destruc-
- tion accumulated in the world, including the nuclear capability
- to inflict irreparable human and environmental damage to the
- planet;...
- Understanding the direct linkage between the threat of nuclear
- weapons proliferation, regional conflict, underdevelopment and
- peace and the critical linkage between a Comprehensive Test Ban
- Treaty and the preservation of the Nuclear Non Proliferation
- Treaty, subject to review regarding terms of its extension in
- 1995;...
- Appealing as citizens of the world to the citizens and legis-
- lators, we proclaim the creation of a new organization of a new
- type that will operate on the basis of nonviolent principles.
-
- Other international GANA delegations expected are from
- Gensuiken in Japan, the Movement for a Free & Independent Tahiti,
- and a number of European organizations.

- WALK ACROSS AMERICA FOR MOTHER EARTH
-
- On January 31, 1992, 100 Europeans, Native Americans
- and other North Americans began their 3,000 mile
- journey from New York City to the Nevada Nuclear Test
- Site, where they will arrive for October 12. Their
- numbers have grown as the walk continues.
- Their purpose statement says in part:
- We mourn what began on this continent On October 12, 1492. We
- invite people, corporations and governments to apologize to all
- indigenous peoples for centuries of injustice.
- We seek to understand American history from the perspective of
- American Indians, African-Americans, Asian AMericans, and all
- other oppressed people.
- Standing in solidarity with indigenous peoples everywhere, we
- honor Mother Earth. We support all indigenous peoples' right to
- the use of and title to their own lands...
- We call for an end to nuclear testing, all of which occurs on the
- lands of indigenous peoples, as a severe violation of human
- rights and a threat to life...
- We walk across the land we call America to generate a spirit of
- compassion for Mother Earth.

- EUROPEAN PEACE PILGRIMAGE 1992
- The European Peace Pilgrimage 1992 is a smaller group
- of about 25 people, who started their walk from the
- U.S. Nuclear submarine base in St. Marys, GA on Febru-
- ary 1, 1992, continuing across the southern U.S. to
- meet with WAA/FME for the last segment, from Navajo-
- Hopi land to the Nevada Test Site.
- They describe their purpose:
- We walk a Peace Pilgrimage to express our unity with the Earth
- and to encourage folks we meet along the way to speak out for
- justice, global peace and the integrity of creation.
- We walk together because there has been abusive mistreatment of
- Native Americans. Entire nations have been eliminated and their
- lands stolen from them. We walk to urge recognition of Native
- American land rights.
- We walk together because there are too many bombs. There is no
- need for these bombs nor is there any need to test them on Native
- American land. We walk to urge adoption of a Comprehensive Test
- Ban Treaty, and to urge the testing of nuclear bombs in Nevada.
- We walk together because there is too much toxic waste. Military
- and industrial production has already filled over 27,000 dump-
- sites in the USA, often on Native American land, polluting water
- and soil for miles around. We walk to urge for a clean environ-
- ment.
