Action Focus
Action Focus is an opportunity to become better informed on crucial Africa-related issues and to take
action for human rights and justice. Although one person acting alone may not be able to do very much,
hundreds of people acting together and speaking with one voice can be a formidable force for change!
Some Action Focus items target major issues involving Africa and offer alternative analyses and responses.
They provide a more radical perspective than what is often found in government and mainstream media sources
and they are accompanied by suggestions for action. Other Action Focus items are direct calls for immediate
urgent action coming from AfricaFiles' sister organizations, such as the members of KAIROS - Canadian Ecumenical
Justice Initiatives or the Africa Canada Forum. They often involve writing letters
to MPs or other leaders about abuses and injustices or joining in some other kind of campaign action.
