As I recall, I don’t have the minutes with me (I’m in Mexico at the moment) we were going to have a separate list serve for Lulu’s stuff instead of it being on the general GREN site.

His brutal army has seized diamond mines, 200 civilians have been murdered, and profits are used to finance political militias. <BR><BR>I've just signed an urgent petition urging international regulators meeting in Namibia this week to ban Zimbabwe diamonds, sending a clear message that we do not want our gifts of love to finance hate. <BR><BR>We have just 24 hours to persuade regulators to act. Join me by signing the Avaaz petition below and let's get a massive petition together that will be delivered directly to the meeting
in Namibia. <BR><BR><BR><A href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/diamonds_for_love_not_hate/98.php?cl_taf_sign=gYv47lr" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.avaaz.org/en/diamonds_for_love_not_hate/98.php?cl_taf_sign=gYv47lr</A> <BR><BR>Thanks! <BR><BR>-------------------------- <BR><BR>Forward the original alert below to your friends: <BR><BR>Zimbabwean dictator Robert Mugabe has brutally seized control of his country's diamond fields and is using the profits from our precious wedding rings and jewelry to finance a vicious political militia. <BR><BR>The group of countries that regulate the global diamond trade are right now meeting in Namibia to decide whether to suspend Mugabe and stop him selling his blood diamonds on the world market.. <BR><BR>We have just two days to persuade these countries to act - let's get a flood of signatures on a petition and deliver it directly to the meeting in Namibia. Sign at the link below and forward this email to anyone who
doesn't want our gifts of love to finance hate: <BR><BR><A href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/diamonds_for_love_not_hate/98.php?cl_taf_sign=gYv47lr" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.avaaz.org/en/diamonds_for_love_not_hate/98.php?cl_taf_sign=gYv47lr</A> <BR><BR>All diamond producing countries know that their profits are dependent on the brand reputation of diamonds, and that increasing awareness of "blood diamonds" threatens that brand. A massive global petition will show them that the diamond-buying public is demanding action. <BR><BR>Zimbabwe's diamonds used to be mined by local people. But in the last several months, Mugabe's thugs have brutally taken over, murdering up to 200 civilians. An international investigation in July found "horrific violence against civilians". <BR><BR>The profits from these blood diamonds are being used to finance a political militia that has already killed thousands of Zimbabweans, and threatens the fragile unity government
in the country. Letting Mugabe keep these diamonds could finance a whole new war. <BR><BR>All of us are learning the ways in which our decisions about what we buy and do can affect the lives of our fellow human beings half a world away. An engagement ring should be something given and worn out of love, let's tell diamond regulators to keep it that way: <BR><BR><A href="http://www.avaaz.org/en/diamonds_for_love_not_hate/98.php?cl_taf_sign=gYv47lr" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.avaaz.org/en/diamonds_for_love_not_hate/98.php?cl_taf_sign=gYv47lr</A> <BR><BR>With hope, <BR><BR>Ricken, Alice, Benjamin, Graziela, Luis, Milena, Paul, Ben, Paula, Pascal and the whole of the Avaaz team <BR><BR>PS: <BR><BR>Once you've taken action, vote for Avaaz on the influential Huffington Post "New Media Game-Changers" poll! <A href="http://www.avaaz.org/huffpo" rel=nofollow target=_blank>http://www.avaaz.org/huffpo</A> (vote 10 for Avaaz as the ultimate game changer)
