Description

The Manifesto for Sanctions was published on 21 January 1987 as part of an AAM initiative to reach a wider cross-section of British public opinion and force Prime Minister Thatcher to rethink her opposition to sanctions. It was distributed to nearly every candidate in the June 1987 British general election and endorsed by 400 candidates. The AAM targeted 41 parliamentary constituencies where there were strong local AA groups in an attempt to make Southern Africa an issue in the election campaign.
