Sudan: Day of ConscienceThe government-backed Janjaweed militia in Darfur, Sudan, is murdering innocent Black Africans, as many as 1,000 a day. Some 50,000 to 100,000 civilians have been killed, and around 1.4 million have been forced from their homes.
The Save Darfur Coalition has identified Wednesday, Aug. 25, as "Sudan: Day of Conscience." On that day, communities across North America are urged to engage in interfaith activities to raise public awareness about the horrific situation in Darfur and to demand that the international community take immediate and decisive action to stop the killing, raping and destruction of villages, and to assure that humanitarian relief reaches all those in need.
Come to a rally for Darfur, on Wednesday, Aug. 25, at noon, in Dupont Circle, where there will be guest speakers, petitions to sign and information about how you can help. For more information, call Marla Wilson at 202/253-7250.
