One of our mobile billboards in downtown Pittsburgh
If you can read this you can save lives in Sudan.
That was the message that we brought to world leaders in New York at the U.N. General Assembly and in Pittsburgh at the G20 summit last month. We also brought them your messages – your reminders in photos and petitions to those world leaders: Don’t Forget Darfur.
Take a moment to check out what we accomplished together:
During our street actions in New York we delivered your 45,383 petition signatures to Special Envoy to Sudan General Scott Gration. In the short program before the Darfur/Darfur exhibit began, General Gration told the crowd:
“And this letter that I’ve got from you all is very important. I’ll make sure that the President gets this, and that he understands the concern that America has to solve this problem in a very expeditious way; a concern that we’ll see in these pictures… What you’re doing is so important to bring the visibility and the pressures to bear, so that we can take the appropriate actions in Darfur to make a difference in the lives of people who deserve this and a lot more.”
—Special Envoy to Sudan General Scott Gration
In Pittsburgh, President Obama drove by our street teams—and waved at our activists holding signs along the route to the G20 opening dinner. Also in Pittsburgh we held a live webcast policy briefing on “Sudan and the G20: what the world’s richest countries can do.” In combination with our TV ads, print and billboard ads these actions reminded world leaders that they can all save lives in Sudan.
Check out what we accomplished together during our United Nations and G20 “Don’t Forget Darfur” campaign by taking a few minutes to see our TV and print ads, policy briefing, photos of our street actions, and our new “Don’t Forget Darfur” video on YouTube.
This evening, Tuesday, September 22, the Save Darfur Coalition will present DARFUR/DARFUR, a traveling exhibit of digitally-projected changing images that provide visual education about the richly multi-cultural region while exposing the horrors of the ongoing humanitarian crisis. The images will be projected at large-scale in Grace Plaza in New York City, timed to coincide with the UN General Assembly, and preceded by a brief program. Speakers include U.S. Special Envoy to Sudan Major General Scott Gration, Save Darfur Coalition president Jerry Fowler, Darfur/Darfur curator Leslie Thomas and photo journalist Ron Haviv. Please join us and spread the word! It will be at 1133 Avenue of the Americas (6th Ave) and 43rd Street, with remarks beginning at 7 pm and projections at 7:30. RSVP here:
