Darfur Rally in Morristown--Look for AI Student Area Coordinator

This Sunday (March 18th) at 2pm, the North Jersey Coalition for Darfur is holding a rally at the Church of the Redeemer at 36 South Street in Morristown.

Student Area Coordinator (SAC) Leon Ratz will be speaking to let everyone know about Amnesty’s upcoming Darfur actions, including the April 9th week of lobbying!

Morristown is in Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen’s district (NJ-11). We would love to have his signature on the upcoming letter urging China to help persuade the Sudanese government to end the violence and allow UN troops in to protect civilians. Unfortunately, Frelinghuysen failed to sign the letter last fall urging the Arab League to put pressure on Sudan to accept UN peacekeepers. Hopefully, this rally will show him how strongly his constituents care about the people of Darfur!
