[WCUSP] Fwd: Re: wheels of justice

[Barbara Taft]

They were here in the Phoenix area last month and had
some excellent meetings.  The Iraqi-American woman doctor,
Dahlia Wasfi, got a great interview on a Sunday morning
talk show, and we actually got a five-minute spot on one
of the news shows (five minutes is a huge amount of time
on a news show, as the average story is 30-45 seconds!).
This area is generally very conservative, so we were
deighted with this coverage.  I've just done the local
booking for the Jerusalem Women Speak tour visit here, and written
their local press releases.  Following on the heels of the
Wheels of Justice Tour, we hope we have built some momentum.
