Keeping the Heat on this Summer

For most of us, the school year is winding down or already over and summer’s starting. For me, graduation time is here and I’m done with university. Just because summer vacation is here doesn’t mean that it’s time to take a break from advocacy. There are still a few people around campus and everyone counts, so make sure to get the message about Darfur to them.

Better yet, this is a great opportunity to make yourself a better advocate. Let your summer reading enrich your knowledge of Darfur and genocide in general. Learn new techniques for spreading the word and networking with other advocates.

Keep the pressure on Sudan, the companies that invest there, and your own government representatives.

Remember, genocidaires don’t take a break and mass atrocities aren’t seasonal. The people committing them shouldn’t get the summer off from opposition just because we do.
