Hello Friends,
I am a member of the UNA-USA and they along with other organizations
are having a HUGE rally across from the UN next week regarding the
lack of justice for Darfur and its citizens. If you are interested in
going or helping out the information is below.
Best,
Talise
Dear UNA-USA Member,
We are excited to announce that the United Nations Association of the
USA will be co-sponsoring a demonstration in front of the United
Nations entitled “No More Delays: Peacekeepers and Justice for Darfur
NOW.” For over three years, the UN Security Council has promised
justice for Darfur and has failed to live up to its promises. We will
be demanding that the UN fulfill its promises to the people of Darfur
by delivering much needed peacekeepers to ensure both justice and
peace. The people of Darfur have already waited too long!
The event is being organized in cooperation with Amnesty International
USA, the Save Darfur Coalition, STAND, ENOUGH, Genocide Intervention
Network, Africa Action, Human Rights First, and others.
WHEN: Thursday, September 25, 2008, from 5:00-6:30pm
WHERE: Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (across from the UN), 1st Avenue and
47th Street
WHO: Larry Cox, Executive Director, Amnesty International USA
Alex Meixner, Director of Government Relations, Save Darfur Coalition
Bushara Dosa, President, Darfur People’s Association of New York
Roxanne Earley, New York State Outreach Coordinator, STAND
Other Darfuri human rights activists (TBA)
Amnesty International will be providing placards – “No More Delays:
Peacekeepers and Justice for Darfur NOW” – and FREE t-shirts and
Instant Karma CDs to the first 200 people! Demo participants will
also be able to visit Displaced, an interactive exhibition on Darfur ,
which will be staged next to the demo site.
Want more info? Want to help out? Planning on attending?
