Students Taking Action Now: Darfur will hold a “die-in” today at 12:40 to raise awareness about the Sudanese genocide.
“It’s basically going to be about 30-40 students lying down in Red Square, hopefully causing a disturbance…that will cause people to stop and read the information that we’re tabling with,” STAND member Trinh Nguyen (NHS ‘09) said.
The Georgetown die-in is part of a nation-wide event with over 50 participating colleges and universities. Tomorrow’s event will kick off a four-month campaign to send postcards and letters to President Bush and Congressional representatives asking for a multinational military force in Sudan.
“Bush is in a very, very good position to call for this [force] because the U.S. is going to be heading to the Security Council in the next month,” Nguyen said.
