URGENT APPEAL!
SACAR / The Salmon Arm Coalition Against Racism is under legal attack by
the anti-Semitic, white racist organization called the Council On Public
Affairs.

SACAR's director, David Lethbridge, is being sued by Eileen Pressler,
founder and leader of the Council On Public Affairs, on the absurd grounds
that she and her organization have been libelled.

For over five years, Lethbridge has been investigating and exposing the
activities of the extreme-right in Canada. He has worked solidly against
well-known neo-Nazis, the Klan, Aryan Nations, and other expressions of
organized racism. He has spoken in high schools and colleges, and at the
meetings of learned societies. He has helped set up and train
community-based anti-racist organizations in Chilliwack, Kelowna, Kamloops,
Nelson, and Creston. He has written over 50 publications detailing the
results of his investigations.

The Pressler lawsuit is an obvious attempt to muzzle SACAR and Lethbridge,
and to intimidate the community. Should Pressler win, a legal precedent will
be established permitting organized racists across the country to sue their
opposition for "libel" and "slander." Pressler's lawyer, Doug Christie, is
well-versed in the tactics of legal intimidation. We must not permit
Pressler and Christie to win this case!

The Pressler-Lethbridge trial is slated for this November. Estimated legal
costs have mounted to over $200,000. To make matters worse, if $50,000 isnot
raised by the end of October, Lethbridge's lawyer will withdraw from the
case. Should this happen, Lethbridge will have no legal representation in
this important trial. The situation is desperate. We must raise the funds
immediately.

David Lethbridge has fought the extreme-right with honor and principle for
five years, and at considerable personal risk and personal cost. We beg you
now to help Lethbridge in this struggle against our common enemies by
sending a generous donation.

Please send a cheque today to SACAR DEFENCE, 1481 Okanagan Avenue, Salmon
Arm, BC, V1E 1N5. And please, forward this appeal to individuals,
organizations, and networks in whom you can trust.

pants with it, spat on it, and threw it on the floor.
