Participate in a Weekend of Prayer and Action for Darfur (mission, worship)

[michel]

On Sunday December 10th, as part of UN World Human Rights Day, activists in cities around the world will hold demonstrations in front of the Sudan's embassies to "Raise the Alarm" on Darfur. We have called on communities of faith to participate through the "Weekend of Prayer and Action," December 8th-10th.
I would like to invite you to participate in this weekend's important activities by asking your house of worship to add its name to an urgent sign-on letter to President Bush.

We hope to use this weekend to bring diverse communities of faith together in calling on the president to take immediate action to stop the genocide in Darfur.
In particular, we hope to raise awareness of the horrific situation women and girls face every day in Darfur.
Women and girls as young as 8 years old are being raped and sexually assaulted by the Janjaweed on a daily basis as part of a calculated strategy of genocide.
They live in constant fear of attack. Even routine tasks such as searching for firewood have become perilous for them.
Please ask your house of worship to sign on to the letter urging President Bush to act immediately to end these atrocities. Click here to let us know if you plan to ask the leaders of your house of worship to add its name to the letter.
You will be joining hundreds of thousands of concerned people around the world who will be calling on their respective leaders to act for the people of Darfur.
Please forward this message to your friends and family and invite them to join you in participating in this effort.
Thank you again for your dedication.
Best regards,
David Rubenstein
