This is one of the most unusual trade union campaigns I've ever heard of -- and I'm pretty excited by it. Please take a moment and read on. Many of you will have heard that two leaders of Zimbabwe's embattled trade union movement were arrested a few weeks ago on charges of 'spreading falsehoods prejudicial to the state' -- in other words, telling the truth. Next Monday, Lovemore Matombo and Wellington Chibebe, President and General Secretary of the Zimbabwe Congress of Trade Unions, are going back to court to face charges. Unions around the world are organizing protests that day at Zimbabwe embassies, and if you can attend or organize such an event that's great. But there's something you can do right now without getting up out of your chair. The Trades Union Congress here in London is making a giant photo mosaic of Lovemore and Wellington, using pictures of hundreds of their supporters from around the world -- and they want to use your photo as one
tiny part of it. They'll get this printed on a large banner in time for the London demonstration on 23 June, and they'll make the image available to other international demonstrations and to the media. Please email a photo of your face to zim at tuc.org.uk
You can read more about this effort here. This is a last minute campaign, so we need to get your photos in immediately. Thanks -- I know I can count on you. Eric Lee
