VERY IMPORTANT Action

Okay, I know it's been forever since we last updated this blog, and that's completely on me - STANDFast/The Congo Tour (both of which went FANTASTICALLY, by the way, thank you to everyone who helped out or stopped by!) and then finals and then the holidays crept up on all of us, I think.

Anyway, the semester was a big success, and I want to thank all of our volunteers, readers, contributors etc. for that. But the point of this post is actually to ask a favor from you all.

There is one thing I would like for everyone who reads this to do as soon as they read this.

Call your senators. Call them and ask them to bring up Darfur, the Congo, and other human rights crises at the confirmation hearing for Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State. We need to let everyone in the upper echelons of the goverment know that we want these conflicts to stop. This is HUGELY critical.

E-mail us (UMassDarfurGroup@gmail.com) or leave a comment to let us know how your call went!
