Justice For Darfur

Many of the MAYAs have participated in efforts to better inform ourselves about the events in Darfur over the past several years. We have attended documentary showings, lectures, interfaith services, and held a fundraiser for aid in Darfur.

Today is a great day for the international criminal court has finally filed genocide charges against the Sudanese president, Omar al-Bashir. This a very large step in helping end it for good. There are still many steps that need to be taken and hurdles to over come. Please make it a matter of earnest prayer that everything will work together to put an end to this.
