Put Darfur Back on the Congressional Agenda!

As you may know, Amnesty is organizing a week of lobbying (September 25-29) in support of a congressional “Dear Colleague” letter urging the Administration to expedite the deployment of UN peacekeepers in Darfur.

Amnesty activists across the country are organizing visits with their local congressional offices. You can search for an join a delegation in your district.

So far, Student Area Coordinators Leon Ratz and Anne Watanabe have started organizing visits to Congressmen Rothman's and Holt’s district offices! If you don’t see an existing delegation in your district, there is still time to volunteer to organize one!

Thanks,
Larry Ladutke
NJ Legislative Coordinator
