D.C area DUers, what ya doin Thursday? Die in at the WH sound like fun? [View All]

[havocmom]

Help draw attention to the plight of victims of genocide in Sudan. The media seems not to be on this devastating situation. What does the junta not want us to know? There is real murder and rape going on here and we need to let bushco know we are not gonna let it be ignored!

The US must get involved. Congress needs to pass a resolution declaring that there is a program of genocide in Sudan. Churches and schools are being destroyed. Pregnant women are being killed and other women are bing raped. People are being forced into camps and starved. Refugees are bing told to go to open spaces for UN food drops and then the government drops bombs on them!

Is this in your local newspaper? Are you hearing about it on TV & radio?

Please help get some legs under this story.

Info on the July 22 Die In in D.C.
http://www.darfurgenocide.org/dcprotest.htm
<snip> We're helping organise a "Die-In" at the White House on Thursday, July 22nd. One thousand people will lie down, as if dead, in front of the President's Mansion powerfully reminding the US Government of the number of people who are dying in Darfur each day.

<snip> We'll make sure the protest gets serious media attention. We'll demand that the US act to put an end to the genocide in Darfur and save those innocent lives.

<snip> If you're ready and able to be in DC on Thursday July 22nd and help call for justice for the people of Darfur,
