Monday, June 29, 2009 (Washington, DC)- This month Africa Action was invited to speak at the Civil Society Leaders conference on Constitutional Reform in Zimbabwe.

He returns to Washington, DC Wednesday, July 8.

We genuinely appreciate when members of the media report on the deeply important message of human rights, civil society and Zimbabwe. If you are a member of the media and would like an interview with Briggs Bomba, or another staff member at Africa Action, contact us from your media related email and we would be more than happy to help you serve your audience. All press release inquiries are handled expediently.

Africa Action and its predecessors have a long history of solidarity with the people of Zimbabwe. In the 1970’s and 80’s this commitment manifested itself in political and material support for the independence movement and opposition to U.S. government policies that supported white minority rule. Today, Africa Action works to deepen our ties with a range of progressive civil society organizations that continue to struggle for democracy and human rights.
