Flier for Indochina and Amnesty: Who Is the Enemy? event, Bellingham, November 16, 1974
Order an ImageThis flier promotes a rally for peace in Southeast Asia, held on November 16, 1974. The rally began at Western Washington State College (now Western Washington University) in Bellingham, then drove to the Peace Arch at the US - Canada border at Blaine, Washington. Later that day was the Northwest premiere of the film "Introduction to the Enemy," followed by a discussion with antiwar activists Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, and David Harris. The back side describes several ongoing conflicts in Southeast Asia including war and political repression in South Vietnam, US military and financial aid to the corrupt military government of Cambodia, and heavy US military presence in Thailand. The flier also criticizes the US for deporting seven Vietnamese exchange students despite their fears of facing violence at home, for sending aid to repressive governments, and for not issuing universal amnesty to Vietnam War resisters. It encourages readers to send letters to their congresspeople demanding change.
