Writing a Heartfelt Letter

Okay. Here’s your chance to write a short, heartfelt letter in a way that truly, truly matters. From the Save Darfur Coalition:

This weekend, you have the opportunity to tell the United Nations to Act Now for Darfur. We have the chance to send a message on all fronts to the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations.

On Tuesday morning, Jerry Fowler and the Save Darfur Coalition team are going to meet with Ambassador Susan Rice at the United Nations. As you know, we are going to be thanking her for her steadfast support for Darfur and pushing her to keep pressing hard at the United Nations.

We can’t show her the depth and breadth of the Darfur movement without you. Last week, activist leaders suggested that we coordinate with community leaders nationwide to write to Ambassador Rice, making that personal connection of people who care about this issue and are demanding an end to the suffering.

To join your fellow activists in writing these letters this weekend, please click here to see format we have laid out to get you started.

Please email it to sarah@savedarfur.org by the end of the day Monday. The sooner we get the letters, the better! We will be making sure these letters get to Carmen Paolercio, an activist leader in New York City, who has volunteered to deliver the letters in person after a vigil on Tuesday. Thank you for volunteering, Carmen!

This is a short deadline, but the letters don’t have to be elaborate, formal documents. A personal, heartfelt message will send a much stronger message.

We are going to get the message through loud and clear: the world is watching and we are not waiting. The United Nations must Act Now for Darfur. Write a letter from you or your activist group this weekend.
