in case you're interested...

hey -

so i think i posted a while back about a "Dream for Darfur" event that's happening in the bay area on November 18th, and now that it's already November 5 (6 more weeks until 2nd semester!!) I thought I would post a reminder:

What: SF Bay Area "Dream for Darfur" rally/Symbolic Torch Relay/Die-In -> an event hosted by Martina Knee of the SF Bay Area Darfur Coalition to protest China's fueling of the genocide in Darfur.

Who: U.S. Congresswoman Barbara Lee (CA-9) will be speaking, and I've included a link to her bio and every piece of news regarding her involvement in helping end the genocide in Darfur --> http://lee.house.gov/index.cfm

When: Sunday, Novemeber 18th, 10:00 - 11:00 AM.

Where: Frank H. Ogawa Plaza (City Hall) (Oakland, CA)

Broadway (between 14th & 15th Streets
Oakland, CA 94612

* REALLY COOL: "Olympic Dream for Darfur official events in the US are organized by the Save Darfur Coalition, STAND, and the Dream for Darfur. They feature a torch that started its journey in Chad, just across the border from Darfur, will continue to the sites of previous genocides, several cities in the US, and arrive at China's doorstep in December."

Here is the link where you can sign-up to attend this event:

Also, I've been in contact with Martina Knee (the organizer of the event) and she sent me tons of posters, flyers, postcards, etc., so if you want one, please just let me know and I'll give you one...or three.

Thanks guys!
