As part of this initiative, Survivors' Rights International,
Inc. is also declaring the week of Oct. 18, 2001 as a
Week for the Recognition of Genocide in Sudan.
Therefore SRI asks that other schools, college groups, and
organizations engage in similar events in their own
districts – to host educational seminars or rallies, to
organize a letter writing campaign to their representatives,
or to publish articles in local newspapers – that aim
to raise awareness of the conflict in Sudan and the need for
a just and lasting peace.

or events hosted as part of this effort please contact SRI
