From Dr. Lisa Hall, Upstate Coalition of Compassion: Our fund-raising efforts for Sallee Alawi (see upcoming CPRC April newsletter) just got a huge boost from Brave New Foundation, the organization that produced the film "Iraq for Sale." They've put up a website and produced a video with a lot of celebrities that solicits money for our project here in Greenville! The website is
<http://www.mothersdayforpeace.com/> . The video, which is 4 minutes long, talks about the origin and meaning of Mother's Day and about No More Victims and then shows some footage of Salee in her home.
