Save Darfur Now - New York City

On Sunday, September 17, PDEC will travel to New York City to take part in a march and rally as the UN General Assembly meets. They will be calling on world leaders to deploy a United Nations force into Darfur to end the genocide.

In April, nearly 300 Pittsburghers traveled to Washington, DC, to deliver this message to President Bush and Congress. And our message was heard. Immediately following this rally, the Bush Administration made protecting the people of Darfur a priority. America is united and believes that a United Nations peacekeeping force is needed to end this genocide. Now they are taking our message to the international community.

PDEC is planning a bus trip so Pittsburghers can take part in this once in a lifetime event. Reservations are $50 for the first 55 seats, $55 thereafter. Please make out your check to "Thomas Merton Center" with "PDEC NYC Bus Tickets" on the memo and send to Thomas Merton Center, 5125 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh PA 15224.
