Videos for Friday

These just came across my email and I wanted to share.  They're produced by www.iactivism.org, a group that does remarkable work raising awareness about the continuing crisis in Darfur.  Take a minute, it's absolutely worth it.

This is Guisma's story, episode 1 and 2. They promise episode 3 is on the way.

Watch the videos and then PLEASE go to this site and "like" it.

Then take one more minute to click this link to sign their petition which says:

Over the past decade, the people of Darfur have suffered through a devastating genocide, have been forced to flee their homes by the millions, and innocent men, women and children in Darfur suffer continuing attacks, many of which are launched by the Government of Sudan. While promising peace talks for Darfur are currently being held in Doha, a few key players threaten to derail the entire process.

The Doha peace process is Darfur's best hope for a peaceful future. We must speak out together to ensure its success.

Urge the United States to take further action for peace in Darfur.

Sign our petition to Deputy National Security Advisor Denis McDonough, one of President Obama top advisors who deserves praise for his diligent work to ensure a peaceful referendum for South Sudan. Join us in asking Mr. McDonough to continue the great work he has begun and lay out the steps he needs to take to ensure a successful peace process for Darfur.

Once you take action, why don't you let us know in our comments section.  We'd love to hear from you.
