Vigils for Darfur: July 1, 12 noon to 2 pm
These vigils will continue the first Tuesday of every month. Coming up: August 5, 12 noon to 2 pm
At US Mission to the United Nations, 140 E. 45th St, (between Lexington and 3rd Ave.), Manhattan
The U.S. will hold the presidency of the Security Council during June.
This is the time for the U.S. to use its leverage to push UN to enforce the resolutions it has already passed.
• Deploy the already-authorized UN troops (UNAMID) and impose multilateral sanctions on the Sudanese regime, to end ongoing atrocities, being carried out with impunity by the Sudanese government.
• Call for international justice and accountability, including arrest of Sudanese officials who have been indicted by the International Criminal Court.
Now is a time of renewed violence in Darfur. In the wake of a failed coup in Khartoum, Darfuris in the capital are being targeted on the basis of their ethnicity. Civilians not involved in the coup attempt are being executed and disappeared. There are also renewed attacks on Darfuri villages.
Sponsor: NYC Coalition for Darfur, Vigil Group

Collect Supplies for Darfurian Refugees in Chad
Brooklyn For Peace is sending desperately needed supplies to the refugee camps on the Chadian border through the Darfur People Association of New York. Over 200,000 refugees fleeing the genocidal violence in Darfur have crossed the border into Chad, where they are living in refugee camps with scarce resources.The camps are in need of warm weather clothing, school supplies, and powdered milk.
You can help by donating what you have or by approaching local businesses and asking them to donate supplies. For drop-off information or to get involved contact: darfur@brooklynpeace.org.
