My friend John Lally sent me the following email, which I have slightly edited. Anyone interested, note the phone number and email address at the end.
UPDATE: Things are not looking good in Darfur! Shaky Darfur Peace at Risk as New Fighting Looms – New York Times
Ever feel that you’d like to do more to voice your concern for innocent victims? Consider joining a group from Holy Name of Mary Parish. This September 17th rally, much closer to home, will provide a similar opportunity to join in with other concerned citizens from over 170 faith-based and humanitarian groups to demand that the United Nations immediately deploy a peacekeeping force to Darfur. Most who have been studying this issue feel that is the best and most effective way to stop the senseless killing, rape and displacement of people.
The rally is at 2 to 5 P.M. on Sunday, September 17, in Central Park’s East Meadow (5th Ave. at 90th St. entrance). If you’d like to join us in going to the rally, or find out more information about it, please call or email me, Maria Abonnel, at 914-737-6347 or
maria@abonnel.com. To read more about Darfur and other possible ways you might be able to get involved, visit www.SaveDarfur.org. Thanks!
