DGA Dec 9th & 10th Action

On Dec 9th and 10th, the anniversaries of the Genocide Convention and the Universal Declaration of Human rights respectively, DGA was in action.  On the 9th, it was out at the Federal Building in Los Angeles, CA.  It set up a huge screen and projected images of survivors during rush hour at a busy Wilshire Boulevard intersection.

On Dec 10th, it delivered (implanted!) hundreds of Genocide Edition front pages of the LA Times in bins all over downtown Los Angeles.  

More DGA to come!

Universal Declaration of Human Rights

We should be patient, I guess...ummm, nah! People are dying! Dec 10th is the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Today, Dec 9th, is the 60th anniversary of Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. Both of them great stuff...on paper! I am sure that both are considered widely as monumental achievements for the human race, but it takes real, breathing humans to make them work and save lives in practice. We've been waiting for 60 years!

We have to get loud people! Let's DGA today and tomorrow...and the days after. Stop Genocide Now has some good ACTIONS going on for tomorrow, but we have to take it a step further. Print those posters and plaster them all over your community. Fax them to Congress, the White House, and the Sudanese Embassy.

So, start with SGN's suggestion and pick one of the girls or women on the posters below and wear it pinned to your clothing all day on Dec 10th, and then get creative and do more!
