Demonstration and Appeal To Decency
By Refugees From Sudan & Darfur
Tuesday, October 5th
5:15 PM
East side of 1000 block of Park Avenue at Chase,
across from Congressman Elijah Cummings office
We will be displaying signs which read:
Cong. Cummings

" We Are From Darfur/Sudan. Why Won't You Save Us From
Starvation?"

Lt. Gov. Steele

" We Are From Darfur/Sudan. Save Our People From Starvation

Cong. Cummings & Lt. Gov. Steele

" Your ancestors' children are starving in
Darfur. WHERE IS YOUR
HUMANITY?"

Cong. Cummings & Lt. Gov. Steele

" We Are the Jews of Africa, Darfur Is Our
Holocaust. DO SOMETHING!"

We are refugees from Darfur and southern Sudan. It is our family members who
are being murdered by the Sudanese government and its paramilitary janjaweed.
50,000 people already killed and more than a million internally displaced.
By cell phone we talk to friends and relatives every day. Every day it gets
worse. 350,000 are expected to starve to death by Christmas even if the
international community delivers all the food and emergency aid it has promised. This
is because it has promised only about half the amount of aid that human rights
workers in Darfur say is minimally needed.
Congressman Cummings and Lt. Governor Steele are the leading African-American
elected officials in Maryland. They have thus far ignored our efforts.
HOW MANY MORE OF US HAVE TO DIE?
