At certain points in life, a moment of sudden realization can transform the way a person acts, feels, or thinks. It can be as simple as recognizing the need for a new job, or as complex as grasping a new political philosophy. During the past five years of conflict in Sudan, many individuals, from celebrities like Don Cheadle to equally determined local activists, have had one of these grand realizations. A realization that involved standing up for the people of Sudan, and going beyond the call of duty to advocate on their behalf.
The Enough Project has launched an exciting campaign aimed directly at these moments.
The campaign is being launched in conjunction with a new book released by Don Cheadle and John Prendergast, entitled The Enough Moment. The stories of activists, both famous and obscure, are found inside. But while the pages of a book are limited, the stories of activists are endless. Through video, picture, or text submission the Enough Project has asked for “Enough Moments” from any and every activist, to be compiled in an interactive wall.
In the blink of an eye, things can change forever. When individuals across this country and across the world blinked, they saw the suffering people of Sudan and other parts of Africa, homeless, diseased, attacked, alone. These individuals decided to change, dedicating their time to advocating for peace and justice in a continent often forgotten. These special moments, these unique blinks are being recorded by the Enough Project. Participate in this special campaign, share your own “Enough Moment”, and find inspiration from others who, like you, are dedicated to Sudan, to Congo, to human rights.




e, I wanted to share one of the paintings we received during the 16 Days. By Lori Khan, an activist in Houston, TX, this work is titled “Listen!” She writes: “I want the viewer to see the painting and to listen, if you will, to the cries of the victim [of rape] and, perhaps most importantly, take action to prevent the further victimization of women. I chose the name ‘Listen!’ because it is a proactive word and the person depicted in the painting is speaking to the viewer, her words painted into the background of the painting.”
