All year we've been hearing about the crisis in Darfur, SUDAN....whether you heard it or not...here's the news: IT IS A GENOCIDE!
Yes, genocide: a deliberate and MASSIVE destruction/killing of a subset of people...in this case, based on the simple fact that they are African muslims rather than Arabic muslims. This has been going on for 3 YEARS...while we, the world, just sits and watch.
Here's your chance to show some concern.
WHEN: Sunday, April 30th2006. Crowd assembles 1:30-2:00pm
Rally from 2:00-4:30pm
WHERE: Washington, DC, National Mall, between 3rd and 4th Streets in front
of the US Capitol
WEBSITE:
http://www.savedarfur.org/rally/ click on rally fact sheet for info and
on confirmed speakers to see the full list and information about them. It
also has info on the history of the Darfur’s tragedy.
WHO:
Russell Simmons
Governor Jon Corzine (New Jersey)
Elie Wiesel (Nobel Prize for Peace [1986], Holocaust survivor)
George Clooney (Academy Award Winner)
Nick Clooney (Journalist)
Paul Rusesabagina (Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient whose story was
depicted in the movie Hotel Rwanda)
Rabbi Marc Schneier (President/Founder, Foundation for Ethnic Understanding)
Cardinal Theodore McCarrick (Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.)
And many more!
Guys...it is not enough to know about these atrocities...people are dying literally...your heart simply has to beat faster and your mind simply has to race at the thought: "what can i do?"
Please, we need to be involve. Its hard to imagine a world beyond our own but we simply have to.
This is OUR PROBLEM...WAKE UP!
