Raise our Voices to End Genocide in Darfur

“What is at stake is our own humanity.” — Elie Wiesel

By the time you read this, over 400,000 civilians in Darfur will have been murdered by their own government. Children, men, and women are shot in the back as they flee, are bound to stakes and burned alive, and are beaten to death. Those who manage to flee burning homes, survive rape and mutilation, and are forced into “redistribution camps” where they then face starvation and rampant infectious disease.

These atrocities are doggedly committed by the Sudanese government and its allied Janjaweed militias in a scheme to “cleanse” the region of an ethnic group comprised of black African Muslims.

As Jews we have a unique opportunity and obligation to stand up for a people targeted for genocide, for we made the promise “Never Again,” for our people, for all people.

Whether you have one minute or one day, please join your voice with UJC MetroWest’s Community Relations Committee, JCC MetroWest, and thousands of other national and local community leaders in Million Voices for Darfur and the Rally to Stop Genocide.

This dual initiative aims at compelling President Bush to take stronger, immediate action to save Darfur. The crisis is unrelenting. We must act now to stop these catastrophes from continuing.

Join us on April 30, 2006 from 1:30 - 4 p.m. on the National Mall in Washington, D.C. for the Rally to Stop Genocide.

Community and Teen buses will depart from the Alex Aidekman Family Jewish Community Campus, 901 Route 10, in Whippany at 7:30 a.m. sharp.
