IPU Donations
At least one dollar from each bracelet sold was donated to other organizations whose central goals were consistent with IPU's. The organizations that we identified to receive IPU contributions included: International Defence and Aid Fund for Southern Africa and Lawyer’s Committee for Civil Rights Under Law for their defense of and aid to political prisoners in South Africa; the Washington Office on Africa and TransAfrica for their work in raising people’s consciousness and pressuring the United States Government to place sanctions on the South African Government; and in South Africa, the National Association of Democratic Lawyers and the South African Council of Churches for their aid to political prisoners and their families.
In its seven years of operation, IPU donated over $5,000 to anti-apartheid organizations here and abroad. It is hoped that in some small way, the Bracelet Program made a difference.
