Sojourners : Meet-Ups

Break the Silence
2 Weeks of Action to End Genocide in Darfur

People of faith are organizing around the country from Friday, July 8th through Thursday, July 21st to pray, bear political witness, and speak truth to power to end the genocide in Darfur, Sudan. Our goal is to organize over 500 cities, towns, and faith communities to take action to generate the political will to end the genocide in Darfur, and we need your help!

Why these 2 weeks? Here's what's going on around the country...

Friday, July 8 - July 10 - Sojourners will culminate our 5 weeks of prayer and action with a worship service in front of the White House on Sunday, July 10. Join us in Washington, DC or in solidarity in your hometown by organizing a public vigil during this weekend, conducting a letter writing campaign to President Bush, or by educating your house of worship about the atrocities in Darfur.

Friday, July 15 - Sunday, July 17 - Join the Save Darfur Coalition along with a bi-partisan coalition of Senators (led by Sen. Brownback (R-KS) and Sen Corzine (D-NJ) for a National Weekend of Prayer and Reflection for Darfur, Sudan. We hope to pray and build awareness this weekend to build the political will for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Thursday, July 21 - This will be the 1 year anniversary of when Congress unanimously declared Darfur a genocide. But words are empty when there is no action. Our partners at the Genocide Intervention Fund are calling for public vigils across the country to call attention to our leaders to put meaning to the words "never again."

Though nearly 400,000 people have been killed and millions have been displaced, the genocide in Darfur continues with little attention from our media and our politicians. With God working through us, we believe we can end this genocide - Will you join us?
