"Thou shalt not be a victim, thous shalt not be a perpetrator, but above all, thou shalt not be a bystander." -Holocaust Museum, Washington D.C.

Over half a million people have already died in Darfur. 10,000 people are dying every month, as the genocide rages on. Systematic rape, torture, poisoning of water sources, and destruction of livestock and crops are common practice. It is estimated that 80-90% of African villages in Darfur have already been destroyed, and that 2.5 million people are displaced. Violence and instability are spreading into Chad and Uganda. Join us to help stop genocide. We are currently working on fundraising dinners, a divestment campaign, uniting with other groups in the area, and getting involved at local colleges and universities.
