Arriving Somewhere

Join us for a powerful event in front of the White House on September 8th! One year since the Bush Administration declared that genocide is occuring in Darfur, little has been done to stop the violence and protect the people. Up to 400,000 people have lost their lives in Darfur since the government-sponsored genocide began in 2003. More than 2.5 million people have been displaced, their livelihoods and villages destroyed by government forces and their proxy militias. These forces have raped many thousands of women and girls. The humanitarian crisis that forms part of the genocide continues, as a government-engineered famine begins to unfold. Unless there is an urgent multinational intervention, hundreds of thousands more may die this year.
On this anniversary we will call on President Bush to take every step necessary to stop the genocide in Darfur.
Join us!
