International Solidarity Fast   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #129 of 346 |
Hey guys, 
 
Hope all is well.  I am working with Georgetown currently on an International Solidarity Fast for Oct 6th.  All required of participants is to fast from a luxury good for a day (i.e. caffeine, alcohol, desserts), and they can choose to donate the money otherwise spent on that good to a relief organization active in Darfur.   Larger events that I'm thinking of planning on campus including vigils, concerts and demonstrations that will take place in conjunction with the Solidarity Fast.  News of the Fast will be broadcast into Easter Chad and Darfur via Voice of America and BBC World Service, sending the clear message to the people of Darfur that they have been forgotten.  If anyone is interested in helping this either preparing an event on campus or working on the national planning committee let me know (I took on responsibility for getting Congress to declare a October 6, 2005 a day of fasting in solidarity with the people of Darfur)  I'd love some help.
