GENOCIDE HITS HOME: Communities and Congress Talk Darfur

Darfur advocates have written letters, made phone calls, even traveled
to Washington, D.C. to urge our government to help end the genocide.
This August, The Genocide Intervention Fund, Students Taking Action
Now: Darfur, and the Save Darfur Coalition offer you a unique
opportunity to make more noise.

As congresspeople return to their home districts during the August
recess, volunteer organizers across the nation will bring together
members of their local communities and go directly to hometown
congressional offices—even to representatives themselves—to demand
greater U.S. action.

The Genocide Hits Home campaign seeks volunteers willing to donate
just a few hours per week during the month of August to this cause. We
will provide all the guidance and resources necessary to reach out to
your community, spread the word about Darfur, lead a local
congressional visit, and show our leaders that a broad range of
diverse constituents care about stopping the genocide.

If you can attend the STAND conference, you'll receive all the
resources needed to carry out this campaign, including a special
training workshop offered by the Genocide Intervention Fund.

If you can't attend, you can still get started right now: Visit
www.genocidehitshome.org for all instructions and materials.

For more information, e-mail info@... . The next step
in the campaign to end the genocide starts now.  The Genocide
Intervention Fund, STAND and SaveDarfur want you to be a part of it.
