Faxes to end genocide

Obama's president now (that is sooooo awesome to say!) but it's still our job to ensure change really does come to Washington. Number one priority: end genocide in Darfur. Visit STAND's website for information on how to fax a "Checklist for Change" to the White House to encourage President Obama to end the genocide in Darfur. He talked about it a lot as a candidate and had a kick-ass record on supporting anti-genocide legislation as a senator. Let's make sure that, as president, ending genocide remains as important. We can't expect the impossible--you know, peace and prosperity overnight--but we can expect the possible: a real commitment to justice, human rights, and preventing mass atrocities.

STANDfast against genocide!

  December 3 is fast approaching and with it STANDfast.  STANDfast is an annual fundraiser STAND: A Student Anti-Genocide Coalition created in order to raise money to protect the civilians in Darfur and eastern Burma.  By registering today and encouraging your friends and family to do the same, you can help protect the vicitms of these humanitarian crises.  It does not take much to make a difference; a donation of $3 can help a woman safely collect firewood for one week and $5 helps send warnings of attack to villages in eastern Burma.
