No More Delays: Peacekeepers and Justice for Darfur NOW Close the gap between promises and reality: Call on United Nations member states to honor their commitment to protect the people of Darfur. For over a year, United Nations member states have promised peacekeepers, equipment, and funding for aid for Darfur, but they have failed to live up to their promises – putting millions of lives at further risk. Every day that governments delay, more people wait and more people die in widespread and unspeakable violence. On Thursday, September 25, join us at Dag Hammarskjold Plaza across from the United Nations as we demand No More Delays: Peacekeepers and Justice for Darfur NOW. WHAT: Demonstration on Darfur: “No More Delays: Peacekeepers and Justice for Darfur NOW” WHEN: September 25, 2008, from 5:00-6:30pm WHERE: Dag Hammarskjold Plaza (across from the UN), 1st Avenue and 47th Street WHO: Larry Cox, Executive Director, Amnesty International USA Alex Meixner, Director of Government Relations, Save Darfur Coalition Darfuri human rights activists Amnesty will be providing placards – “No More Delays: Peacekeepers and Justice for Darfur NOW” – and free tee-shirts and Instant Karma CDs to the first 200 people!
