Candlelight Vigil for Darfur in Copley Square on Dec. 10
The situation in Darfur grows more dire each day with the safety of millions of people at stake in this first genocide of the 21st century. Please join us and communities around the world who are also marking Human Rights Day by calling for immediate action on Darfur.
Join us for a candlelight ceremony at Copley Square, Sunday, 12/10, 5:00 - 6:00 PM. Light a candle. Say a prayer. Learn how you can take action. Bring your family. Bring your friends. Every one of us can make a difference.
Speakers will include Gloria White-Hammond and Panther Alier, genocide survivor. Music will be provided Berklee College of Music vocalist Farah Siraj, performing her original song "To The Sudanese Women."
Prayers will be led by Reverend Pamela Foster from Trinity Church and Rabbi Carey Brown from Temple Isaiah.
The vigil will be located in Copley Square, in the red brick area in the center of the square, on the Boylston side.
On December 10th, 1948, the United Nations adopted the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. It declared that the "recognition of the inherent dignity and of the inalienable rights of all members of the human family is the foundation of freedom, justice and peace in the world."
On December 10th, 2006, we will remember this declaration and stand up for the inalienable rights of the members of our human family in Darfur. Our hope is that we can help bring them freedom, justice and most importantly, peace.
