On Saturday, July 9, more than 160 students, activists, and Sudanese community members gathered at Diversey Harbor in Chicago, IL to raise funds to support Darfuri refugee education and celebrate the independence of South Sudan. The students of Youth United for Darfur, the Chicagoland coalition of high schools and colleges working together for peace and education for the people of Darfur, organized the inaugural Walk with Darfur, which raised over $1,000 to support our Darfur Dream Team Sister Schools Program’s efforts at Ali Dinar A school in Djabal refugee camp in eastern Chad.
At the Campus Progress annual conference recently, a reporter asked me about my opinion of President Obama’s record. I told her, "I think there are some, not broken promises, but the realities of Washington sort of hit a lot of people hard, especially young people who have lofty goals and big dreams, and it's hard to face reality sometimes." In part, I was thinking about some of the shortcomings in the Obama administration's response to conflict in Sudan and Congo and the problem of the LRA.
Representatives from government, industry, and civil society gathered at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars last week to participate in an Enough Project-hosted panel on the issue of conflict mineral certification in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The condemnation expressed by U.S. government officials over the recent violence in Sudan must translate into meaningful action toward those most culpable, to force them to rethink their calculations. Call the White House at 1-800-GENOCIDE and urge Obama to impose consequences against the government of President Bashir.
For the thousands of activists around the world working to end genocide and crimes against humanity, their personal journey and commitment often began with what Enough Co-founder John Prendergast has called "the Enough Moment" - that instant in which a person can no longer be content to sit by while atrocities are taking place, even halfway around the world.
For Rebecca Tinsley, the seeds of that moment were planted when she was a six-year old. Now, she has combined her passion for activism with her talents as a journalist to write the novel When the Stars Fall to Earth, a gripping story and an unflinching account of the atrocities that continue to unfold in Darfur.
