We are considering the following for San Francisco:

Time is Up...Or Is It?

On April 29, 2007, Global Day for Darfur demanded UN peacekeepers in Darfur now! Concerned citizens around the world declared that "time is up" for meaningless negotiations with the Sudanese government and instead the UN must stop genocide in Darfur "on our watch."

Do we mean it?

The Government of Sudan can count on world leaders and citizens to get distracted, and so as a reminder of our renewed committment on April 29, 2007 to the people of Darfur, the San Francisco Bay Area Darfur Coalition is launching "Darfur Fridays!"

Each Friday until the genocide ends:

  • wear your April 29, 2007 Global Day for Darfur t-shirt
  • take action for Darfur (call 1-800-Genocide, donate for humanitarian aid, sign an online petition, etc.)
  • spread the word about Darfur to one other person and encourage them to join Darfur Fridays

How to Darfur Friday:

Together! Organize your school and/or co-workers to participate (remember "casual Friday" before everyday became casual Friday?!)

Donate $15 to the SF Bay Area Darfur Coalition for an "April 29, 2007 Global Day for Darfur" t-shirt: Send an email to info@darfursf.org with the number of shirts, the sizes (M, L, XL and XXL), and the name and address to which to send the t-shirts.

Send a check payable to "SFBADC" to 3919 Washington Street, San Francisco, CA 94118.

Upon receipt of the check, the t-shirts will be shipped without charge along with a sign-up sheet your coworkers and/or classmates can complete to join the SFBADC email distribution list for action alerts and event and meeting notices.

Any questions, email info@darfursf.org.
