About me:
Imagine if President George W. Bush led his administration to kill and rape all of the people who lived in the Southwestern United States because they had accused him of political and economic marginalization.
Would you have stopped him?
This is what has happened in Darfur, Sudan. The violence has not stopped.
The Sudanese government and their Arab militia allies, called the Janjawid, have burnt over 44% of the villages in the region.
Out of the 6.5 million people living in Darfur, at least 2.8 million (43%) have been directly affected by the ongoing violence.
Over 300,000 people have lost their lives.
It has been more than 2 years since the first outbreak of violence, yet the Sudanese people’s circumstances have still not returned to being peaceful, which is why
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!
So, who exactly are we?
We are a group of Brookline High School students seeking to help stop the current genocide in Darfur, Sudan.
What are we doing?
We are organizing a postcard-writing campaign in conjunction with the national campaign Million Voices for Darfur.
On Monday, March 27, we hosted an assembly featuring Rev. Dr. Gloria White-Hammond, national chair of the Million Voices for Darfur Campaign. It was incredibly successful, and now we are planning to organize additional events to spread awareness. Potential projects include: a walk, and reaching out to the elementary schools.
What can YOU do?
1) (www.millionvoicesfordarfur.org)
--> Please go to the above website and fill out an e-postcard to send to President Bush!! <--
2) Come to our organizing team meetings!
When do we meet?
We meet every Wednesday after school in Mr. Grant's room, Room 309 -- please join us!!
Please add us whether you go to Brookline High or not, and tell your friends to add us. This profile is meant to spread the word about the atrocities happening in Darfur and to be used as a form of advocacy!
