Defend world peace - Stop Reagan's international lawlessness [petition signed by Madame Binh, Edith Ballantyne, Hortensia Allende, Julie Christie, Marechal Costa Gomez, and Romesh Chandra]

San Francisco: US Out of Central America, 1984. 8.5x11 inch petition circulated by Tony Platt at the International Conference on Nicaragua and for Peace in Central America, which was held in Lisbon, May 3-6, 1984. The petition, which has an explanatory slip with some spots of correction fluid pasted across the lower portion, has been neatly mounted on a wooden board. Platt, a scholar / activist known in particular for his work on prison reform, was at the Conference on behalf of the Democratic Workers' Party; USOCA was a front group of the Party. Perhaps the most famous signer here is Nguyen Thi Binh, popularly known as Madame Binh, who had been one of the signers of the 1973 Vietnam peace accords and who went on to become Vice President of Vietnam after reunification. Other signers include the widow of Salvador Allende, two peace activists (one of them, Christie, a well-known actress), a former Portuguese president, and a former leader of the Communist Party of India, Chandra, who had gone on to head the World Peace Council.
