After we all worked so hard to raise awareness for the ongoing crisis in the Darfur region of Sudan this year, Amnesty International at FAU is proud to announce that Senate Bill 2142 was passed by the Florida Senate-- which will withdraw Florida money from the government of Sudan as a measure against the Sudanese government's role in the mass genocide.
Now, Governor Charlie Crist is ready to sign the Bill into Law, and he is doing it right here in our backyard!
This Friday, June 8, at Temple Beth El in Boca Raton, Governor Crist will be conducting a public signing of the Bill, and you are invited to attend in order to be recognized as a member of the FAU Chapter of Amnesty International for all the work we've done on the issue of Darfur! The signing takes place at 12pm noon, so if you'd like to come, please contact Josef or Ana and let them know so they can give you directions.
In the meantime, we hope you're enjoying your summer, and we're looking forward to starting off our second year of Amnesty International at FAU in the Fall!
