Hope everyone is getting excited to return to D.C.  There are three cool Darfur events coming up I wanted to share (please see below) and an internship available at the Holocaust Museum (see attached document).  Also our first General Body meeting of the semester will be Tuesday Jan 23 9-10 pm marvin center room 310

Visit USHMM.org to learn about "Our Walls Bear Witness" program in Second Life.  

It is a virtual duplication of the real life event that occurred at the museum in November where photos from Darfur were projected on the exterior of the museum.  Participants will have the opportunity to join other people from around the country (and perhaps the world) outside of a replica of the Hall of Remembrance.   The photo and video program will be available at this site through the end of January.  However, on Tuesday at 2pm EST, Mia and Ronan Farrow, John Heffernan, and Ron Haviv will all be speaking and answering questions on a stage in front of the virtual Hall of Remembrance.  What's great about Second Life is that not only will you be able to see and hear Mia, Ronan, Ron, and John via their online avatars, but you will be able to see and communicate with any of the other participants who are gathering around the world.

 Vigil in front of the White House on Tuesday, January 9th .

The vigil will be used to deliver tens of thousands of petitions to President Bush that members of the Save Darfur Coalition and Amnesty International collected over the holidays. We are demanding that President Bush do everything in his power to immediately get UN peacekeepers on the ground in Darfur to help end the bloodshed.

Where:
Lafayette Park (northeast corner)
H St. & Madison Pl., NW
Washington, D.C.

When:
Tuesday, January 9th

Please join us in making it clear to President Bush that we have not forgotten about his pledge to bring peace to the people of Darfur.
