March for Justice, Freedom and Hope Planning Committee letter.

Typescript letter dated 1 September 1987 and addressed, "Dear friends". The letter explains the purpose and objectives of the March for Justice, Freedom and Hope. It describes the plan for supporters from all over Australia to gather in Sydney by 22 January 1988 to participate in a number of events, including a prayer vigil, in the lead up to the march from Railway Square to Hyde Park on 26 January 1988. The letter also mentions a coordinator has been appointed for the march but does not name the coordinator; this could be a reference to Reverend Charles Harris.
