GLOBAL DAYS
FOR DARFUR: "Time is running out!"
- April 23 - 30, 2007 -
Over the course of four years, genocide in Darfur has claimed 400,000 lives, displaced
2.5 million people, and left more than 3.5 million men, women and children
struggling to survive amid violence and starvation.
It is past
time something is done. And you can help!
During the week of
April 23 - 30, 2007, people from around the world will participate in the third
Global Days for Darfur. From from
high-profile rallies to local candle light vigils to major marches, individuals
from across the globe will come together to highlight the need for immediate
deployment of an international peacekeeping force in Darfur.
Global Days for Darfur presents an
opportunity to place focused pressure on U.S. policy makers, the United Nations,
the Government of Sudan and the international community to call for the urgent
protection of Darfuri civilians.
As an Executive Committee member of the Save Darfur coalition, Citizens for Global Solutions
is promoting action and awareness during this important week. We need your
help to inspire and take part in events around the country.
We hope you will join with countless others in organizing a local or regional
event!
