As promised, this is your Weekly Wednesday Campaign Update.
The Save Darfur Campaign is currently planning a very exciting Library Lawn event for late October. More details on that as they get finalized, but the plan for now is to have a body bag display, symbolizing the hundreds of thousands of victims of the genocide.
Also in late October, we'll be having a Day of Remembrance for the victims. We'll be giving out pins for people to wear all day. Signups for that will be at the Library Lawn display.
This weekend we'll be having a bakesale, so look for us in your dorms Sunday night. We'll be selling baked goods from Henions as well as homemade treats. If you're interested in helping out, we'll be baking in Greenough Residence Hall Sunday afternoon and selling all over campus Sunday night, so leave a comment or send us an e-mail at UMassDarfurGroup@gmail.com and we'll fill you in on details.
And your action: Send Jim Lehrer and Gwen Ifle a letter asking them to ask the candidates about Darfur at the presidential and vice presidential debates. The presidential debate, scheduled for Friday, may end up being postponed, but please get the letters in the mail as soon as you can 'cause we want to make sure the hosts have them before the debates.
