Support justice for Vietnamese Agent Orange
victims ­come to court Monday 2/28!


On Monday, February 28, 2005 at 11:00 A.M. at
the Federal District Court in Brooklyn, 225
Cadman Plaza East, 6th Floor, (A train to High
Street, M/R/2/3/4 trains to Court Street/Borough
Hall, F train to Jay Street/Borough Hall) Vietnamese
Agent Orange survivors will have a hearing on their
case against the U.S. chemical companies that
manufactured the toxic chemical, Agent Orange.
Agent Orange contains dioxin, one of the deadliest
substances known, and has caused death and
sickness to millions of Vietnamese people
and to many U.S. veterans of the Vietnam war.


The Vietnam Association for Victims of Agent
Orange/Dioxin has filed a lawsuit on behalf of
people in Vietnam, many of them children, who
suffer the continuing effects of Agent Orange
birth defects and sickness. On Monday, the
companies who manufactured the chemicals
and the U.S. government who sprayed them on
the people and land of Vietnam will argue that
this lawsuit should be dismissed on procedural
grounds.


WE must be there to support the Agent
Orange victims who have filed the lawsuit.
At the hearing, a coalition of veterans,
Vietnamese-American and other community
leaders will initiate the Vietnam Agent
Orange Relief and Responsibility Campaign,
calling on the U.S. government to
compensate Vietnamese people suffering
from the effects of Agent Orange.


On Monday, 2/28 at 11:00 A.M., join lead
plaintiff in the lawsuit, Dr. Phan Thi Phi Phi,
veterans and others who stand for justice and
responsibility in showing a visible presence in
the courtroom. Let the judge know that
millions of us want justice for Agent Orange
victims!
