On Tuesday March 8th:
 
EVENT: Darfur Speak-Out Vigil, March 8, White House
ACT NOW TO STOP GENOCIDE IN DARFUR
Speak-Out Vigil - Tuesday, March 8 - White House
In commemoration of INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY::
Because:
70% of the displaced people in camps in Darfur and Chad are women and girls,

Mass rapes and sexual violence in Darfur form part of the gov’t-sponsored genocide,

Of the deliberate killing of pregnant women to prevent births within the targeted groups,

Women and  girls still face daily attacks when leaving camps in search of water or fuel,

A Chapter 7 United Nations intervention is urgently needed to protect all civilians in

Darfur, especially women and girls whose lives are at risk.

Come to a Public Speak-Out Vigil @ Lafayette Park, in front of the White House Tuesday, March 8 5:30pm – 6:00pm

Tell Our President That While He Remains Silent About the Genocide in Darfur, YOU Will Not!
