If you have the means to support efforts to halt the genocide in Darfur or

The UN-WFP (World Food Program) has had to reduce distributed aid rations to
1,050 calories per day due to lack of funding. This is less than 1/2 the
daily caloric intake needed for general health.

Come to D.C. tomorrow, if you are nearby.
