Save Darfur: Philadelphia - April 2007
We had the pleasure of hosting Joe Fitzgerlad, professor of History at Gloucster County College, at the Cinnaminson Moravian church a few weekends ago. The topic of his talk was How to Sustain a Social Movement based on the history of the Civil Rights Movement. Here are some of his suggestions:
1. If you don't understand the history/regligion of the other side, you cannot debate effectively. So educate yourself. Learn more about the United States history with the Sudan.
2. Reach out to the local Sudanese community in your neighborhoods. Ask how you can help.
3. Go to Churches, Mosques, Synagouges & other places of worship to pass out information on the crisis in Darfur.
4. Send cards, packages, etc to victims in the Sudan to let them know they are not alone.
5. Remember, the Personal is Political. So if you are finding the people you are talking with about the crisis in Darfur aren't responding the way you would like, make it personal. If you are talking with a woman let them know about the sexual abuse.
6. Have a Die-in/Sit-in/Chain or other public protest.
