Dear Racial Justice Community,

In December the YWCA experienced one of it’s most successful programs in partnership with the Jewish Community Relations Council.  Bringing Mr. Paul Rusesabagina to Tucson resulted in over 3,000 Tucsonans being involved in our programs.  Over the course of three months, Tucsonans took part in film screenings, discussions and volunteering.  It was a great success and it could not be done without the help of all our dedicated volunteers. 

We feel inspired to continue to bring awareness to not only Rwanda but to the current genocide occurring in Darfur.  Please take a moment to read the message below and take action.  —Sarah
Text Box: Paul Rusesbagina Text Box: Million Voices for Darfur The Save Darfur Coalition, in cooperation with over 150 faith-based, advocacy, and humanitarian aid organizations, is pleased to announce the launch of the Million Voices for Darfur campaign. We believe that while the problems of Darfur are complex, the formula for solving those problems is simple: President Bush, his Administration, and Congress must make ending the genocide in Darfur a top priority. The Million Voices for Darfur campaign will help millions of Americans make their voices heard, and make their government listen. We need your help, however, to make the Million Voices campaign a success. Please click here to send an electronic postcard to President Bush. Regular postcards are also available if you would like to distribute them personally. Click here to view the design and to order postcards. In the coming months, the campaign will collect one million of these hand-written and electronic postcards from Americans demanding that the United States government act in support of a stronger multinational force to protect the civilians of Darfur. The postcards will be collected in local communities and on college campuses, at houses of worship and over the Internet. The Coalition will then deliver Americans’ messages to the White House and Capitol Hill, using the campaign to draw national and local media attention to the Darfur crisis. The strength of the Coalition, and of the Million Voices campaign, is the breadth and diversity of Darfur advocates such as you who lend your strength to our message. Thank you for paying attention to the crisis in Darfur, and for taking the time to take action to end it. For more information and to sign an electronic post card, please visit www.MillionVoicesForDarfur.org. With your help, we can all make the Million Voices for Darfur campaign the success it needs to be. - To subscribe, enter your email address under "get email updates" at www.SaveDarfur.org. - For other correspondence, please write to info@savedarfur.org.
